Bedding, also known as stratification, is a result of the layering of sedimentary rocks during the deposition process. It provides important information about the environment of deposition and can be used to determine the direction and rate of sedimentary deposition. The other options may also be important in sedimentary rocks, but bedding/stratification is the most definitive feature that distinguishes sedimentary rocks from other rock types.
