Detailed Solution

The Soil formation that occurs from a rock is Parent rock. In soil formation, the parent rock usually influences the type of the resultant soil; for example, clay soil is generated from mudstone, whereas sandy soil is derived from sandstone weathering. The parent rock could be sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. The parent rock (or protolith) in the context of metamorphic rocks refers to the original rock before metamorphism did occur. The parent rock determines the soil's colour, texture, chemical composition, permeability, and mineral concentration.
