Answer:
The larger and heavier solid particles settles down leaving the clear liquid above it. ... At the same time, during decantation, there is a chance of the particles mixing back in the liquid. Filtration technique can be used to overcome this as well. Thus, filtration is better than sedimentation and decantation.

Sedimentation is a process of separating large particles of solid from a mixture of solid and liquid under gravity, by leaving the mixture undisturbed for a long time.
The larger and heavier solid particles settles down leaving the clear liquid above it.
Thus, filtration is better than sedimentation and decantation.
