All soil normally contains some kind of nutrient, Sometimes it is lacking in available nutrient that is why we add fertilizers or other other trace elements to raise and lower pH depending on what the plants you intend to grow require.
I am not sure what you mean by plain soil. All Soil is just that Soil. It maybe different in it make up, eg Sandy soil, Clay Soil, or Loamy Soil.
Hope this is of some help

The National Cooperative Soil Survey identifies over 20000 different kinds of soil so it depends on what soil your talking about

The usual name for what you are describing is earth (without a capital letter) A more scientific definition would be the unconsolidated mineral or organic matter on the surface of the Earth that has been subjected to and shows effects of genetic and environmental factors of: climate (including water and temperature effects), and macro- and microorganisms, conditioned by relief, acting on parent material over a period of time. A product-soil differs from the material from which it is derived in many physical, chemical, biological, and morphological properties and characteristics.
