Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Mud, short for muddle, is loam, silt or clay mixed with water. It is usually formed after rainfall or near water sources. Ancient mud deposits hardened over geological time to form sedimentary rock such as shale or mudstone (generally called lutites). When geological deposits of mud are formed in estuaries, the resultant layers are termed bay muds. Mud has also been used for centuries as a construction resource for mostly houses and also used as a binder. Mud has also been proved to be almost vital to skin as it can reduce signs of ageing, shrinks pores, removes blackheads, clears acne, and leaves skin tighter and glowing [citation needed]. Mud is created by fungi and microbes as they break down rock [citation needed].
