How do you call when the salt goes to the bottom of the cup?

When salt settles at the bottom of a cup, it is referred to as "sedimentation." This occurs because the salt is denser than the liquid, causing it to sink rather than dissolve completely. In a solution, if the solubility limit of salt is surpassed, the excess will precipitate and settle at the bottom.
