Answer:1.Humus 2.Loam 3. Sand 4. Silt 5. Clay

Explanation: The dark brown decomposed organic matter in soil is called humus. Clay soil has small and fine particles, that is why it retains the most amount of water. Sand, has larger particles so it retains the least amount of water.Silt and loam, with medium-size particles, retain a moderate amount of water.
