Detrital sedimentary are classified according to the size and shape of their sediments.
What is the shape of an metamorphic rocks?
The shape of metamorphic rocks can vary widely depending on the specific rock and the conditions under which it formed. Some metamorphic rocks, such as slate or schist, may have layered or foliated textures. Others, like marble or quartzite, are typically more massive and may have a granular or compact appearance.
Was igneous rocks were classified by their their origin texture and shape?
No, igneous rocks are not classified by their shape. They are primarily classified based on their origin (either intrusive or extrusive) and their texture (coarse-grained, fine-grained, glassy, etc.). Shape or form is not a major factor in the classification of igneous rocks.

How do you classify rocks?
Geologists classify rocks by looking at their chemical and mineralogical composition then at the the size and shape of their component minerals then at any texture, pattern or grain that the rocks may display. They also classify them in relation to how they were formed.
