THE IMPORTANCE OF SOIL AND ITS ROLE IN THE LIFE OF LIVING ORGANISMS

Abstract

This article highlights the importance of soil in nature and human life. Soil is one of the most important natural resources of the Earth, where plants grow and the food chain necessary for animal and human life is formed. Soil is a significant ecological system that ensures the balance of biological, chemical, and physical processes. It enables plants to absorb water and nutrients through their root systems. In agricultural production, soil fertility is considered the main determining factor.
