Detailed Solution

The substance settles down at the bottom of a liquid is known as sediment.
An insoluble solid suspended in a liquid can be separated from that liquid by letting the insoluble solid settle down at the bottom; this process is called sedimentation. The insoluble solid that settles down is known as sediment, and the clear liquid that comes up is known as supernatant. The supernatant can be poured out into a different container without disturbing the sediments, and this process is called decantation.
