Made up of clay and sands. Erodes quicker than hard rock which is limestone or chalk. Not resistant to weathering and erosion. Eroded quicker than hard rock which creates a bay and the hard rock is called a headland. When you have hard rock then soft rock alternating it is called a discordant coastline.

Why are some rocks smooth and other are not?

Rocks become smooth through the process of weathering, which includes abrasion from wind, water, or ice over time. Rocks that are not smooth may have experienced less weathering or may be composed of harder materials that resist erosion. The smoothness of a rock can also depend on its location, as rocks in a riverbed or along a coastline are more likely to become smooth.
