1) These words don't need to be capitalized or pluralized.

Examples of uncapitalized and/or singular usage:
"histosol n. (Soil Science) A soil of an order comprising peaty soils, with a deep surface layer of purely organic material.
https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/histosol?msclkid=5f6f103cbd3611ec98b0b74aec3cfa9d

Ex:
- ‘Two principal elements of the soil catena: the ferric podzol of the mid-slope and histosol soil of the foot-slope were investigated.’
- ‘The second histosol was sampled in Zegveld, The Netherlands.’

ferrosol:
"Areas within North-Western Tasmania have been targeted for agricultural development and intensive vegetable production due to the deep ferrosols, including deep basalt soils, present."

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/argosol
etc.


2) "aridosol" is a misspelling or a relatively rare spelling. It's "aridisol".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aridisol
https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/aridisol

Similarly (based on GV, Wp etc)
vertosol --> vertisol
cambosol --> cambisol
isohumosol --> isohumisol
gleyosol --> gleysol
ferralosol --> ferralsol

The following are ok, apparently (based on GV etc.):
ferrosol
spodosol
andosol
argosol
anthrosol
primosol
halosol
histosol
