The 5 layers in a complete soil profile are the O horizon (organic matter), A horizon (topsoil), E horizon (eluviated layer), B horizon (subsoil), and C horizon (parent material). These layers collectively make up the soil profile, each with different characteristics and roles in supporting plant growth and ecosystem function.
