No, igneous rocks can be used in this way based on the fact that an igneous intrusion will be younger than the material through which it passes. This is part of the principle of cross cutting relationships.
Sedimentary rocks are not the only way to determine relative age. The principal of cross-cutting relationships can determine relative ages.

Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from chemical and physical weathering of rock, their subsequent erosion and transportation to a place of deposit, and their lithification through compaction and cementation.
== == Sedimentary rocks may exhibit strata, or layering. Sandstones will have visible sand grains. Limestones will fizz when placed in vinegar. Fossils usually only appear in sedimentary rocks. A rock made of an assortment of other rocks is usually sedimentary.
the only remaining oil that can be found today is found in Sedimentary rock. Some Sedimentary rocks are shale, sandstone, limestone, and gypsum. Coal is also a Sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.

There are only 3 types of sedimentary rocks and they are...Clastic RocksChemical RocksOrganic rocks
No. Only sedimentary rocks containing carbonate minerals will bubble with acid.
Sedimentary rocks form three horizontal layers: strata, singular and stratum. The organisms that fall into the sedimentary rocks, will then be fossilized in each layer.
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.
