It is called a residue solution. Meaning that sand is heavier than water, after the process of mixing each other it settles down to the bottom of the water.
Is a solid that separates from a solution and generally settles to the bottom of the container?
When we mix water and sand, the sand being heavier settles to the bottom of the mixture. This process is called sedimentation and it is used for water purification. The sand or the impurities are called the sediment.When the solid sediment in a solution. Then the solid is called precipitate and the phenomena so occurred is called precipitation.

How can you separate sand and styrofoam?
That will depend on the size of the styrofoam pieces. If they are significantly larger than the sand, you merely pick them out by hand. If not, then a sieve can be used assuming the sand will go thru the sieve and the styrofoam will be too large to pass through. You need to find a sieve with the right size holes. Another way is to add acetone and the styrofoam will dissolve, and the sand will stay behind, but this technique doesn't give you the styrofoam back again.

Why does sand sink to the bottom of water?
Sand has a higher density than water, so it sinks to the bottom when placed in water due to gravity pulling it down. The sand particles are heavier and more compact than water molecules, causing them to settle at the bottom.
