component soil

The collection of polypedons or parts of polypedons within a map unit that are members of the taxon (or a kind of miscellaneous unit) for which the map unit is named. Simple or complex names for the component soils are formed from a class name (taxon name) from some categorical level of the U. S. system of soil taxonomy, with or without an additional phase identification for utilitarian features.
