Soil can turn into sediment through the process of erosion, where weathering and transportation break down and carry soil particles to new locations. Over time, these soil particles can accumulate in layers, compact, and become sediment through processes such as lithification and cementation.
Rain doesn't turn into soil. It wets the soil, then some of it percolates down through it on it's way to the water table. Some of it is used by the growing things in the soil (if any) and the microbial life in the soil, and some of it evaporates back into the air.
The term for soil that settles in water is sediment. Sediment is the material that is carried and deposited by water, wind, or glaciers.
The soil that is lost due to erosion is called sediment. Sediment can be carried away by water, wind, or ice, leading to a loss of fertile soil and degradation of land quality.
Alluvial soil is formed where transported sediment is deposited. This type of soil is created by rivers and streams carrying particles and depositing them over time, resulting in a fertile soil that is good for agriculture.
Sediment loss can lead to decreased soil fertility as it carries away valuable nutrients. It can also result in soil erosion, compromising soil structure and ability to hold water, affecting plant growth. Additionally, sediment loss can contribute to water pollution and ecosystem degradation.
Sediment
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

When pressure pushes down on sediment, the sediment turn solid because they have sat aside for a long time and the pressure builds up to form a rock.

Soil, rock,etc.

You call the bits of soil sediment.
