Residual soil is the soil formed from the weathering of the bedrock.
Soil that has been moved away from its parent bedrock is called transported soil. This can happen through processes like erosion, weathering, or human activities like construction or agriculture. Transported soil can differ in composition and characteristics from in situ soil.
Residual soil is formed from the same material as the bedrock beneath it through weathering processes over time. The characteristics of residual soil often mirror those of the bedrock from which it was derived.
If you are asking for the name of such soils, they are soils formed in residuum, or residual soils. Typically, the soil profile grades into a degraded bedrock called saprolite, with depth, before hiyting hard bedrock.
Bedrock is the solid rock beneath the soil. Soil is formed as a result of weathering and erosion of the bedrock over time. So, while bedrock does not directly start the formation of soil, it does provide the material from which soil is developed.
When the soil above it formed from the bedrock below.
Bedrock is called the parent material of soil because it is the underlying layer from which soil is formed through weathering and erosion processes over time. The composition and properties of bedrock influence the characteristics of the soil that develops on top of it.
Regolith
Residual soil is formed in situ by weathering of the underlying bedrock, retaining characteristics of the parent material. Transported soil is moved away from its source by erosion or deposition processes, often by wind, water, or ice. Residual soil is typically found in the same location as the parent rock, while transported soil can be found far from its original source.
