Soil is a complex mixture of weathered rocks, mineral particles, gas, water, organic materials, decaying matters, and living organisms.
And a mixture becomes heterogeneous when it is comprised of more than one type of material.
So, the soil is a heterogeneous mixture.
Soil heterogeneity can be inherited (geologically) or acquired (pedologically) and be affected by cultivation.
