bedrock

Noun

 * 1)  The solid rock that exists at some depth below the ground surface. Bedrock is rock "in place", as opposed to material that has been transported from another location by weathering and erosion.
 * 2)  A basis or foundation.
 * 1)  A basis or foundation.
 * 1)  A basis or foundation.

Usage notes
In mountainous regions, bedrock can be seen at the surface. However, these occurrences are more properly called. In construction and engineering, it is often desired to place foundations on bedrock in order to improve the stability of a structure.
