The sediments in sedimentary rock are held together by precipitated cementing material which is commonly silicate, carbonate, clay, or iron in composition.
The sediment transport by the rock cycle
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the permeability of the rock or sediment. Permeability refers to the ability of fluids to flow through the rock or sediment. A more permeable rock or sediment will have higher porosity and allow for better fluid flow.
The underground layer of spongy rock that holds water is called an aquifer. Aquifers store and transmit groundwater, which is an important source of freshwater for drinking, agriculture, and other human activities.
you can tell if its a sediment rock if you can feel different elements of sand or pebbles

permeability
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
the family's of rock are igneose, and sediment
Erosion deposits sediment.
An impermeable layer underground that holds groundwater is called an aquifer. Aquifers are underground layers of rock or sediment that are saturated with water and have limited permeability, preventing water from easily flowing through them.
An aquifer is not a type of water. It is an underground layer of permeable rock, sediment or soil that contains water. Wells are dug to reach this layer to obtain water.
