A. Sand
B. not very much compared to other soils. It's very porous.
C. Birds, plants, probably rodents and other critters. Insects such as bees...
D. They add nutrients into the soil.
E. yes. Sand is eroded. If it were lost it would change the types of organisms who live there, though I don't know how all the sand can be lost, my site is at the beach, how can all the sand disappear from the beach? But if it did leave it would probably just go into the ocean which would be unaffected.
F. It is important to consider soil texture because the various organisms who live in a given area depend on the type of soil that is there. If it somehow changed it would affect the types of organisms who could survive there.
