1 Minerals are inorganic as they exist naturally in the soil and water. 2  Minerals are organic as they exist in plants and animals. 3  Only plants can transform inorganic minerals into organic minerals.  Animals must eat plants or plant-eating animals to obtain their organic minerals.
Minerals are inorganic substances necessary for building bones, tissues, and other compounds as well as for regulating body processes. Minerals found in large amounts in the body or those with high daily intake requirements (at least 100 milligrams per day) are called macrominerals.
