Sand content is part of many different native "soils", but they are not exactly the same thing. Loam soil - the best kind for growing things - is made up of fairly equal proportions of sand, silt, clay and organic matter. Some soils are high in clay (called "heavy" soils). Some soils are high in sand content - the soil in my own yard for example. So in a sentence: Sand is a component of most soils - it is not "soil" by itself.
