Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The non-living organic matter present in the soil is known as the humus. It is obtained by the decomposition of plants and animals by microbes. Humus is present in the topsoil as a brown-coloured layer consisting of dead and decaying plants and animals. The porosity of the topsoil is due to the presence of humus. The topsoil is held in its place because of the humus. It helps absorb water, which is useful in the plant's growth. It also provides food to the plants and animals in the soil.
