    Soil groups are further classified based on their composition and properties. Fine-grained soils like silts and clays are often plastic and cohesive when wet but can become loose and unstable when dry. Coarse-grained soils like sands and gravels have high permeability but low cohesion, making them prone to erosion. The various soil groups must be properly identified and considered in geotechnical and civil engineering projects.
