Answer

Compost is a widely used organic fertilizer made from decomposed plant and animal matter. It improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and provides a slow, steady release of nutrients. Other examples include farmyard manure, vermicompost, and green manure, all of which enrich soil fertility naturally.
