Soil is often considered an abiotic factor since it is mostly made up of small particles of rock (sand and clay) mixed with decomposed plants and animals. Plants use their roots to get water and nutrients from the soil.

Also just a tip, make sure to put it in the correct category next time cause someone can report it :(

Anyways hope this helps!! :D
