The four horizons of a soil profile are O (organic), A (topsoil), B (subsoil), and C (parent material). The organic horizon is the topmost layer containing decomposed organic matter. The A horizon is rich in organic material and nutrients. The B horizon is a transition zone where leaching may occur. The C horizon is the lowest layer, consisting of weathered rock fragments.
