Because it fits both descriptions :)
Explanation:
Abiotic - physical rather than biological; not derived from living organisms.
Biotic - relating to or resulting from living organisms.
Both descriptions fit soil. It is largely made up of rocks and dirt and other non living things but it is also characterized as containing many organisms and dead organic matter.
