The bottom layer of rock in a geologic sequence is usually called the basement layer.
at the bottom
You would know because the youngest rock layer is always on the top, and the oldest is always at the bottom of the canyon.

The bottom layer of a sedimentary rock is called the basal layer. This layer is considered the coarsest in the rock.
In normal circumstances, Yes. that is what the law of superposition says.

Superposition is the theory that the rock layer that is on top is the youngest and the layer of rock on the bottom is the oldest.

bottom
the bottom is the oldest and the top is the youngest
The principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest will be at the top, the oldest at the bottom.
It is called Superposition.
The basement is a term sometimes used, and Cratonis another used in a continental context.The Principle of Superposition has it that in a given formation, the top layers are the youngest, and the deeper layers the oldest.
