Sediments are finely divided materials that are carried along by moving water (or other fluid) and preciptate out when the water slows down. Sediment can come from anywhere and be just about anything. Organic and inorganic material alike can become the bits of matter tiny enough to allow it to be picked up and carried along with a moving fluid. It can already be loose and picked up, or can be washed loose by the water. Wind blown material crosses over or falls on water and "sticks" and ends up in it. In any case, the material in the water moves with it to a "final destination" somewhere and then "drops out" as precipitate. A link can be found below, and it will lead an investigator to the Wikipedia post on sediment.
