Clay is a very distinctive type of soil that feels "sticky" as well as "gooey". There is some water content, but it is not water-logged. It is difficult to dig in, and does not support plant-life very easily. It can become rock when it is fired up.
It is basically made from fine-grained minerals as natural materials. Clay is made by particles being mixed with water and materials from the surrounding soil. Clay can also be formed from when weathered rock is carried from a place from where they were formed such as streams of water.
Note that there are different colors of clay, depending on the region of the US.
