Sandy soil contains small amounts of nutrients but allows for easy air and water flow, making it suitable for coconut, cactus, and tuber crops. Clay soil is rich in nutrients but does not drain well, sticking together, yet growing rice and water lilies. Loamy soil is the best mixture as it contains equal parts clay and sand, draining well while providing nutrients, allowing most plants to thrive. Soil provides habitats, stores water, and can be used to make various objects.
