They are called mineral deposits or precipitated minerals.
Water must evaporate or cool down in order for its dissolved minerals to be deposited. As the water evaporates or cools, it becomes supersaturated with minerals, causing them to come out of solution and form solid deposits. This process is known as precipitation.
Minerals in placer deposits come from the erosion and weathering of rocks and minerals in the surrounding areas. These minerals are carried by water and eventually deposited in rivers, streams, and beaches where they settle due to their weight. The concentration of minerals in placer deposits can vary depending on the geology of the region.
When drops of water evaporate on porous materials, they can leave behind minerals and impurities present in the water. As the water evaporates, these minerals are deposited on the surface, creating spots or stains. This is more prominent on porous materials because the minerals can penetrate deeper into the surface, making the spots harder to remove.
it doesnt +++ Oh yes it does! Calcium carbonate (main constituent of limestone), magnesium carbonate (ditto of dolomite), calcium sulphate (gypsum), sodium chloride ("ordinary" table salt, but in its rock form), and some other metallic compounds, can all be dissolved by groundwater derived directly from rain and snow-melt. Hot, high-pressure (hydrothermal) water is mroe aggressive and will leach more metallic salts from granite etc. The dissolved minerals may then be deposited elsewhere by evaporation.
Chemical rocks are sedimentary rocks that form from the precipitation of minerals in water. They are made up of minerals that have been dissolved in water and then deposited as the water evaporates or is removed. Examples of chemical rocks include limestone, gypsum, and rock salt.
The term would be 'precipitated'.

Soil deposited by water could be silt or mud.
The water used to flush the excess waste after minerals have been deposited is dumped in nearby lakes and rivers.
Soil rich in minerals deposited by flooding rivers is called silt.
Stalactites in caves are typically formed from minerals such as calcite or aragonite, which are deposited by dripping water containing dissolved minerals. These minerals precipitate out of the water over time, creating the elongated formations we see in caves.

Sedimentary
Stalactites are made of minerals such as calcite or aragonite that are deposited by dripping water in caves. These minerals are dissolved in the water and are slowly left behind as the water drips from the cave ceiling, building up the stalactite over time.
Alluvial soil is carried and deposited from rivers, streams, and floodplains. It is formed by the erosion and weathering of rocks and minerals upstream, which are then transported and deposited by flowing water.
Stalagmites grow from the ground in caves. They are formed by the accumulation of minerals deposited by water dripping from the ceiling of the cave.
