Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion. It is normally made of small dirt or sand particles. Sediment particles are normally smaller than the holes in the screen of a strainer and can easily pass through the pump.
Debris is fragments or remnants of something destroyed or broken; rubble, bits of plastic, etc. Debris is stopped from entering the pump by the screen in the strainer.
