Soil is the name for the various kinds of ground that can be planted on without irrigation. Someone should add a list of them here.

Farmable soils:

  • Loam
  • Silt
  • Sand

Note, however, that you may only plant cave flora if the tile is marked "Indoors" (this may be checked with the "k" function).

Also note that soil cannot be smoothed or engraved, so you probably should not build any bedrooms or dining rooms on the first two underground levels. Digging into soil does not generate any byproduct materials, unlike rock.
