These plants and animals create an additional layer called the Organic Layer. Like it's name, these layers are on the top!

This layer is clay-like and sticky.

Hence, the name "Parent Rock." This layer is not as open to wind or water, so the rock remains mostly intact instead of breaking down into soil.

This layer is super hard, and has only rock and minerals! No plants nor soil can be in this layer.
