its clay soil n please refer to the link below u will get aal the info regarding soil structures... http://www.pedosphere.com/volume01/pdf/section_03_02_01.pdf
The soil material described would be classified as a clay soil. Clay soils have high clay content, low sand content, and low silt content.
The soil material you are referring to is known as clay soil. Clay soil has a high clay content, typically more than 40%, with relatively low sand and silt percentages. Clay soil is known for its small particle size and tendency to hold water, making it often difficult to work with for gardening and farming.
Sand has the largest grain size compared to mud and clay. Sand particles range in size from 0.0625 mm to 2 mm, while mud and clay particles are much smaller, typically less than 0.002 mm in size.
Sand particles range in size from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, silt particles range from 0.002 to 0.05 mm, and clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in size. Sand is the largest in size, followed by silt, and then clay.
The mixture of sand, silt, and clay is called loam. Loam soil contains a balanced combination of sand, silt, and clay particles, providing good drainage, moisture retention, and nutrient availability for plants to thrive.

Clay
Sand. The sand has space between all of the little grains, clay is stuck together with less space.
swamp+sand=clay
Their both the same, really, just two different names for sand with clay in it, however one might have more clay in one (sandy clay) than the other (clayey sand), but only by miniscule amounts.
mud+sand=clay
Sand has the largest grain size compared to mud and clay. Sand particles range in size from 0.0625 mm to 2 mm, while mud and clay particles are much smaller, typically less than 0.002 mm in size.
Clay is soft and sand is like sand water
Loam.
Slump
Sand particles range in size from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, silt particles range from 0.002 to 0.05 mm, and clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in size. Sand is the largest in size, followed by silt, and then clay.
