What is the material transported as suspended load?

Suspended load refers to fine particles and sediments, such as silt, clay, and small grains of sand, that are carried through the water column by the flow of a river or stream. These materials are kept suspended due to turbulence and the movement of the water, allowing them to travel long distances without settling to the bottom. The composition of the suspended load can vary depending on the geology of the surrounding area and the velocity of the water.
