Does sediment form before soil?
Yes. Soil is sediment that has been weathered and deposited and can support rooted plant life. You will generally not hear a geologist distinguish between soil and sediment but instead refer to both as sediment. This is typically because they are dealing with time-lines that far exceed a soil's lifespan and whether it is soil or sediment is not relevant. However, a soil scientist will always distinguish between the two and will not designate the sediment as a soil until certain criteria has been met.- This answer is complicated.~SatsuiEvilRyu

What makes sedimentary rocks red?
Well, sediment is usually a variety of things mixed together, like soil. In soil, you can see many different things, that's because sediment can contain things such as, dirt itself, leaves, dead organisms-such as plants and remains of animals (like if an animal was killed by another, the dead remains would decompose into small pieces). So, if sedimentary rocks (which basically is compacted soil/dirt) are red, it's something that got mixed into the sediment.
