Soil profile

A simple 2D cutaway block or cross-section patch of brown soil with visible layered horizons and a crumbly granular texture. The top edge is flat to slightly uneven and natural-looking, with a darker organic-rich topsoil layer above a lighter brown to tan subsoil or mineral layer, sometimes transitioning to a denser lower layer. The interior is mottled with earthy tones from dark to medium brown, with subtle stratification, irregular clumps, small pores, scattered pebbles or stones, lighter mineral speckles, darker organic flecks, and occasional fine rootlets or root fragments embedded within the profile. The overall form is a rectangular or irregular earthy block shown as a generic scientific soil profile without surrounding plants.
