Soil contains organic matter that comes from dead plants and animals that have decomposed and have built up over time. It is the kind of matter that plants find a root-hold to grow in and find nutrients enough to thrive and survive with. Soil ranges from clay to loam to sand.
Sediment is typically the "soil" that is found at the bottom of bodies of water. It is defined also as matter that has settled at the bottom of a liquid.

Does sediment form before soil?
Yes. Soil is sediment that has been weathered and deposited and can support rooted plant life. You will generally not hear a geologist distinguish between soil and sediment but instead refer to both as sediment. This is typically because they are dealing with time-lines that far exceed a soil's lifespan and whether it is soil or sediment is not relevant. However, a soil scientist will always distinguish between the two and will not designate the sediment as a soil until certain criteria has been met.- This answer is complicated.~SatsuiEvilRyu
