If a rock has bands of light and dark layers its what?
It could be a sedimentary rock or a foliated metamorphic rock exhibiting alternating bands of light and dark minerals.
What type of rocks are banded or non banded?
Slate is a type of metamorphic rock. It is a foliated metamorphic rock that has a banded, or layered, appearance due to exposure to directed pressure and heat.
If a metamorphic rock has grains arranged in parallel layers or bands what is the rock probably displaying?
Generically it is displaying a metamorphic fabric, specifically a schistosity. If the fabric is well developed it could also be displaying planes of cleavage.

What is difference between a foliated and an unfoliated metamorphic rock.?
foliated rocks are arranged in parallel layers, or bands. Unfoliated rocks are not banded and are not put into parallel layers.
Does metamorphic rock have layers?
Not exactly. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which can appear similar to the layers of sedimentary rock. Foliation develops from mineral grains being oriented by pressure, rather than the deposition of layers.
