Could you share the answer choices? If none, here's the short answer and why:
The classic direct factors of soil formation are CLORPT — Climate, Organisms (biota), Relief/topography, Parent material, and Time (sometimes humans are listed separately). A trait of the soil itself (for example soil texture or soil color) is not a factor that directly causes soil to form — it is a result of the soil-forming processes.
So: "soil texture" (or "soil color" / "soil type") would be a correct “does not directly affect” answer.
