Explanation:

For Question 14: Organic matter in soil is crucial for plant - growth as it provides nutrients, improves soil structure, and holds water. Without it, plants would not grow well.
For Question 15: Soil stores carbon, serves as a habitat for organisms, and filters and stores water. It does not directly produce oxygen; plants through photosynthesis produce oxygen.

Answer:
