Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Humus is created when soil microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi) break down the plant- and animal-based matter into nutrients that may be utilised by growing plants. When plant and animal debris decomposes in the soil, humus, a black, organic substance, is created. Plants scatter leaves, twigs, and other debris to the ground, which accumulates. Leaf litter is the name of this substance. Animal carcasses contribute to the litter after they pass away.
