When starting a new fortress, types and quantities of available soils are listed at the bottom right of the fortress location selection screen. In contrast to rock types, soil type names appear in the same shade of brown as farm plots, and are usually closest to the top of the list, and thus, closest to the surface of the ground.
Note, however, that you may only plant cave flora if the tile is marked "Indoors." To check this, go to the tile in k mode.
Digging into soil does not generate any byproduct materials, unlike digging in rock, which makes it much easier to create storerooms and other large areas of empty space.
Soil cannot be smoothed, so it can be difficult to make high value rooms. Also, since soil cannot be smoothed, soil cannot be used to make fortifications.
The only minerals that can be found in soil are gold, Aluminum, cassiterite, and platinum.
