Abstract: Associated to each material body $mathcalB$ there exists a groupoid $Omegaleft(mathcalBight)$ consisting of all the material isomorphisms connecting the points of $mathcalB$. The uniformity character of $mathcalB$ is reflected in the properties of $Omegaleft(mathcalBight)$: $mathcalB$ is uniform if, and only if, $Omegaleft(mathcalBight)$ is transitive. Smooth uniformity corresponds to a Lie groupoid and, specifically, to a Lie subgroupoid of the groupoid $P{i}^{1}left(mathcalB,mathcalBight)$ of 1-jets of $mathcalB$. We consider a general situation when $Omegaleft(mathcalBight)$ is only an algebraic subgroupoid. Even in this case, we can cover $mathcalB$ by a material foliation whose leaves are transitive. The same happens with $Omegaleft(mathcalBight)$ and the corresponding leaves generate transitive Lie groupoids (roughly speaking, the leaves covering $mathcalB$). This result opens the possibility to study the homogeneity of general material bodies using geometric instruments.
