Bedrock is not a layer of mature residual soil. Bedrock is the solid rock underneath the soil layers that make up the Earth's crust. Residual soil forms from the weathering of bedrock over time.
Below bedrock, there is typically more bedrock, as bedrock is the solid rock layer that lies beneath soil or other loose material on the Earth's surface. It is the lowest point of the Earth's crust.
Residual soil is formed from the same material as the bedrock beneath it through weathering processes over time. The characteristics of residual soil often mirror those of the bedrock from which it was derived.
Residual soil forms from the weathering of the underlying bedrock in the same location. An example is clay soil derived from the weathering of granite bedrock.
The three horizons of a mature residual soil are the A horizon (topsoil), B horizon (subsoil), and C horizon (weathered rock material). The A horizon contains organic matter and is the most fertile layer for plant growth. The B horizon is rich in minerals leached from the topsoil. The C horizon is the least weathered and consists of partially weathered bedrock.
Residual soil develops directly from the underlying bedrock through weathering processes. The characteristics of the bedrock, such as mineral composition and structure, influence the properties of the residual soil that forms above it. Over time, physical and chemical weathering break down the bedrock to produce a soil that retains some similarities to the parent material.

If you are asking for the name of such soils, they are soils formed in residuum, or residual soils. Typically, the soil profile grades into a degraded bedrock called saprolite, with depth, before hiyting hard bedrock.

The deepest layer in soil is called the parent material or bedrock. This layer is comprised of solid rock and is located beneath all other soil horizons.
== == This layer is called bedrock.

Residual parent material is the weathered bedrock that is found beneath the soil layer. It is the unconsolidated material from which the soil has developed over time through the process of weathering and erosion.
