No, sediment is not part of a glacier system. Glaciers are made up of ice formed from compacted snow, and sediment is material that is eroded and transported by the glacier or deposited under the glacier. Sediment can become trapped in the glacier ice as it moves, but it is not considered as part of the glacier system itself.
The central part of the glacier moves fastest than its edges as it is thickest from the center.
The upper part of a glacier is called the accumulation zone. This is the area where snow accumulates and feeds the glacier, eventually turning into ice and flowing downhill towards the glacier's terminus.
The base of the glacier, where it is in contact with the rocks beneath it.

The slowest moving glacier is the Pitcher Glacier in Alaska, which moves at a rate of only a few inches per year. Its slow movement is due to its location in a region with very cold temperatures and low annual snowfall.

"Slowest" is a superlative adjective, used to compare three or more things in terms of speed.

The terminus
The fastest moving part of a glacier is typically the center of the glacier where it is flowing downhill and under the influence of gravity. This is known as the glacier's "zone of maximum flow" and can reach speeds of several feet to several tens of feet per day.
