Soil is the top layer of the ground where plants grow. It is made up of tiny pieces of rock, minerals, and organic matter like decayed plants and animals.
You pronounce 'soil' like 'soyl', rhyming with 'oil'.
The word 'soil' comes from the Latin word 'solium', which means 'a seat' or 'a place to sit', referring to the ground.
The word 'soil' in Hindi is 'मिट्टी' (Miṭṭī).
The word 'soil' in Kannada is 'ಮಣ್ಣು' (Maṇṇu).
In the soft, squishy soil, little worms wiggle and play! Just like the colorful bugs in Eric Carle's books, the soil is full of life.
It’s where flowers grow tall and trees stretch their branches wide. When you dig your hands in the dirt, you can feel the magic of nature!
The soil helps seeds sprout and gives them a cozy home. So next time you see a garden, remember the special soil beneath it, helping everything grow bright and beautiful!
