Question

biological weathering is driven by organisms like plants, lichens, and mosses, accelerating rock breakdown by chemically altering rock substances. what role does soil formation play in land ecosystems? it is irrelevant to ecosystems. it only contributes to marine life. it provides the basis for life on land.

Explanation:

Soil formation is crucial for land ecosystems. It is not irrelevant as it supports terrestrial life. Also, it's not only for marine life (the question is about land ecosystems). Soil provides nutrients, a medium for plant roots (as shown with the plant in the image), and a habitat for many organisms, thus forming the basis for life on land.

Answer:

It provides the basis for life on land.
