Metamorphic has this root.
Marble is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of calcite or dolomite minerals. It forms through the recrystallization of limestone under high heat and pressure conditions.
Yes, sedimentary rock can form from metamorphic rock through a process called retrograde metamorphism. In this process, metamorphic rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion to form sediment, which can then be compacted and cemented to form new sedimentary rock.
The original rock that exists before it undergoes metamorphism is called a parent rock or protolith. This parent rock can be any type of rock, such as sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock, that is subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a metamorphic rock.
It can be any type of rock. If heat and pressure deep in the Earth changed it, it is a metamorphic rock. If sediments of sand or other rocks compacted/cemented together, it's a sedimentary rock. If magma from a volcano cools, (on the outside of a volcano) it's an igneous rock.
A metamorphic rock is a type of rock that has been changed in form and composition by high temperatures and pressures underground. This process rearranges the mineral structure of the rock without melting it, resulting in a new rock with different physical and chemical properties. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and schist.
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.

Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.

Metamorphic rock is the result of the transformation of an existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".
The original rock that exists before it undergoes metamorphism is called a parent rock or protolith. This parent rock can be any type of rock, such as sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock, that is subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a metamorphic rock.
It will form extrusive igneous rock. Beyond that they exact type will vary.

Sedimentary rock can be changed into igneous rock by undergoing melting and then solidification.
