igneous rocks become metamorphic rocks by great heat and pressure over time.
Not that simply. Think of the steps between the starting point and the ending point. They are numerous and cover great spans of geologic time. Few, if any of the particles from the original rock would appear together in the new igneous rock.
when it breaks down it still is a igneous rock and it still pressures down so yah hope that helps yaa! :)

How do magma turn into extrusive igneous rock?
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.
How will a sedimentary rock turn into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks are formed when rock melts in a volcano or other hot spot.

When a rock gets to the core does it turn into a igneous rock?
No, first it has to melt, then erupt, and then it has to cool down. When it solidifies completely, it becomes an igneous rock.
