A consolidated rock is called a "lithified" rock. This means that loose sediment has been compacted and cemented together to form a solid rock mass.
ARGILLITE
The layer of solid rock found under the soil is called bedrock. Bedrock is composed of consolidated rock that forms the base of the Earth's crust and provides a strong foundation for the layers above it.
Unweathered rock that lies below the subsoil is called bedrock. Bedrock forms the solid foundation of the Earth's crust and typically consists of compacted and consolidated rock material. It influences the landscape and can affect soil formation and water movement.
The type of rock that contains bits of sand is called sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from consolidated sand grains, typically composed of quartz or feldspar, which have been cemented together by minerals like silica, calcite, or iron oxide. It often exhibits a range of colors and textures, depending on its mineral composition and the conditions under which it was formed.
Old Fort, also known as the Fort San Cristóbal in Puerto Rico, was built using a common type of volcanic rock called "tuff." Tuff is a type of rock formed from consolidated volcanic ash ejected from vents during a volcanic eruption. It is a durable and easily workable material, making it suitable for construction purposes.
The layer of solid rock below the soil is called bedrock. It is composed of consolidated rock that serves as the foundation for the soil layer above it.
Claystone.
ARGILLITE
Siltstone is a fine-grained sedimentary rock consisting of consolidated silt.
The layer of solid rock found under the soil is called bedrock. Bedrock is composed of consolidated rock that forms the base of the Earth's crust and provides a strong foundation for the layers above it.
By being first weathered into loose material (clast), then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated.
* a lump or mass of hard consolidated mineral matter

Sedimentary rock, though that category also includes rocks formed when a cementing material precipitates out of groundwater between the grains.
When you dig up dirt you get to this hard soil like substance. Beneath this is the hard rock you're talking about. It is called Bedrock.
Unweathered rock that lies below the subsoil is called bedrock. Bedrock forms the solid foundation of the Earth's crust and typically consists of compacted and consolidated rock material. It influences the landscape and can affect soil formation and water movement.
Ash mixed with rain forming a cement like rock is called tuff. Tuff is a type of rock composed of volcanic ash and other volcanic debris that has been consolidated and hardened.
