The correct answer is bacteria. Bacteria abundant in soil is the main source of its organic matter. This is because bacteria release energy in their systems which causes the soil to be more fertile and more capable of sustaining plant material. Without bacteria general processes of soil formation will not be possible.

Plants are the main source of organic matter in soil. Animals and microorganisms also contribute. Microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and single celled protozoans, play an active role in decomposing dead plants and animals. Because organic material releases nutrients when it decays, it contributes to soil fertility. Some bacteria also aid soil fertility in the nitrogen cycle. The bulk of organic matter originates from plants.

Papessa [141]

The ant and aphids have mutualism type of relationship because they both profit from one another. The aphids are protected while the ant is fed.

<h3>What is Mutualism?</h3>

Mutualism is a partnership in which both species participate and gain from it.

In this instance, ants profit because they eat the waste products left behind by aphids, while aphids profit because ants guard them.
An illustration of a mutualistic relationship is the one between an animal called an oxpecker and a rhinoceros or zebra.

The spider crab continues to be hidden from predators.
Bees with flowers - Another mutualistic link exists between bees and flowers.
Bees move between flowers to collect the nectar they require to produce honey.
Pollination occurs when the bee transfers pollen from one plant to another.

The taxon species may be defined by reproductive isolation and _____.

ivann1987 [24]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Morphology

The taxon species may be defined by <em><u>reproductive isolation and morphology </u></em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>A taxon is a group of one or more populations of an organism. </u></em>
<em><u>Morphology is the form or the appearance of a particular organism, </u></em>while <u><em>reproductive isolation is the separation of organisms by some type of barrier.</em></u>
<em><u>Reproductive isolation is a type of mechanisms that prevent two or more organisms or populations from exchanging genes through reproduction. </u></em>This occurs when two organisms or species are separated for too long such that they can no longer reproduce with each other due to different adaptation and changes in the environment.
<u><em>Morphology and reproduction isolation may be defining characteristics of taxon of species.</em></u>
