Weathering is the process in which soil, sand, and sediment are formed.
Soil that traps sediment
they are deposited by sediment
Eroded soil can enter drains and waterways, causing them to build up with sediment.

Sediment
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
they are deposited by sediment
When pressure pushes down on sediment, the sediment turn solid because they have sat aside for a long time and the pressure builds up to form a rock.

A bioturbator is an organism which carries out bioturbation - the mixing of soil or sediment by living organisms.
You call the bits of soil sediment.
