Partially saturated soil = soil + water + air = 3phase.
Fully saturated = soil + water = 2phase.
Dry soil = soil + air = 2phase.
Frozen soil = soil + water + air + ice = 4phase.
Fully saturated = soil + water = 2phase.
Dry soil = soil + air = 2phase.
Frozen soil = soil + water + air + ice = 4phase.

Partially saturated contain 3- phase because it shows air, water, and soil.

Soil space contain volume of solid particle=vs, volume of void.
The given sample on question is partial saturated soil these means volume of void occupied by water and air, but volume of solid occupied by only solid particle.
Therefore partial soil sample contain solid state, liquid state and gases state.

Partially saturated soil must contain solids + water content + air voids so it is Three Phase system.

Soil is namely called as three phase system because mainly it contains solids means soil grains and water and air.
