> This view is incredibly harmful. What lives in the soil is important too, small animals, insects, mushrooms... I want to highlight that it's a relatively recent discovery that almost all plants live in a symbiotic relationship with fungi (Mycorrhiza) in the soil, which I wasn't taught in school. Plants can also live without, but the existence of Mycorrhiza fungi impacts plant productivity and robustness. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhiza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhiza
