That's actually a very difficult question. In the context if worms and the ops post I think the best definition would be one of energy availability. Detritus would have lower entropy allowing the worms to more easily extract energy. Dirt would have a much higher entropy as many of the complex molecules in the detritus have been broken down into more smaller fragments.
