Explanation:

Statement 1: The preparation of soil is the first step before growing a crop. Firstly, it allows the roots to penetrate deep into the soil and lets them breathe easily even when they go deep into the soil (due to the presence of more voids and air pores).
Statement 2: The loosened soil helps in the growth of earthworms and microbes present in the soil. These organisms are friends of the farmer since they further turn and loosen the soil and add humus to it.
