Soil is a complex mixture. It is a dynamic, living natural body composed of minerals, organic matter, water, air, and organisms. Decomposed leaves are just part of the organic - matter component. Rock fragments without life do not fully define soil, and water mixed with sand is a simple mixture and not soil.
