Does anyone know what type of soil this is? I’ve never seen dirt that was this spongy. Could it be moss?

It’s coco coir, shredded coconut husk with the stringy fiber removed. It’s a good alternative to regular potting soil.

Coco coir. If you want to repot, money trees do well in a mix of tropical and cactus soils.
