Sand and other coarse (adhesive) soils are approximately incompressible so, clay is a link. With compressibility as it is a chohesive soil.

Plastic soils (clays) are normally described as cohesive as a distinction from non-plastic soils (sands and gravels) which are often called granular or non-cohesive.

Moisture and air can be expelled out in Clay, So it's compressible.
