Layers of the soil are called horizons. Here are the horizons:

  • Humus
  • Topsoil
  • Subsoil
  • Fragmented rock
  • Bedrock

Once a soil has developed, it forms layers called horizons. Beneath a surface layer of a plant remains, the topsoil is rich in decomposed plants and animal matter. The subsoil is mainly mineral particles, with much less organic material. The fragmented rock/bedrock is primarily small stones, and beneath it lies all bedrock.

Hope this answer helps you!
