A individual unit of soil aggregates or lump of soil is called a "ped". A "solum" refers to the layer or sequence of layers that make up a soil profile. A "separate" is not a term used in soil science. A "pedon" represents the smallest unit of soil that can be studied as a complete soil system, including all layers and horizons.
