A rock is a mineral matter of variable composition, assembled in masses or considerable quantities by nature, as by heat or water.
A sediment is a rock that is weathered down by wind, water, or glacial ice.

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.
A sedimentary rock can be re-formed through the process of lithification, where loose sediment is compacted and cemented together to create a solid rock. This can occur through pressure from overlaying sediment layers and the precipitation of minerals in the pore spaces between sediment grains. Over time, these processes transform loose sediment into a cohesive sedimentary rock.
Lithification is a Complex process whereby loose grains of sediment are converted into rock . Crystallization is the formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase :)
L
The difference lies in the method of the rock's creation (melting, sediment, pressure), and the elements available when and where it forms.
i dont know lol
in sedimentation there are particles and circumstance that allow these particles sedimented bud in participation there are not any particle and there is a sepration between cations and anions.

The water table is the upper boundary of the zone of saturation where pores and fractures in rock and sediment are saturated with water. Groundwater refers to the water that is located beneath the Earth's surface within the zone of saturation that fills the pore spaces between soil, rock, and sediment particles. In essence, groundwater is the water that lies beneath the water table.

Density would be the most noticeable difference between the rock and the model.
you can tell if its a sediment rock if you can feel different elements of sand or pebbles
