Solution
The topsoil is found in the 'A' horizon of the soil. This layer is also known as the topsoil or the surface soil. It is the uppermost layer and is characterized by the process of mineral and organic material accumulation. This layer is rich in organic material, which is mainly due to the decomposition of plant and animal material, making it very fertile and ideal for plant growth.
