Technically rocks are not sediments, rather sediments are derived from weathered rock material. These sediments may conslidate and form rocks such as sandstones and mudstones, which include shales and siltstones. This variety of rock types is of sedimentary origin. Other types of rocks are formed by igneous and or metamorphic processes.
Hope that answers your question.
Not all rocks are, only sedimentary rocks are truly made up of sediments. Some metamorphic rocks do because they are formed when heat and pressure are applied to sedimentary rocks, which makes sediments the basis of these rocks as well
Sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentation
Sedimentary rocks.
The lithosphere includes rocks and sediments. This is the outermost solid part of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle. Rocks and sediments are part of the lithosphere's composition.
When rock compacts
they are used for rocks

Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
There are four types of sediments that create sedimentary rocks. The fours types of rocks are sandstone, mudrocks, biochemical and chemical.
From rocks in rivers and lakes and when the rocks break up over time the sediments inside the rocks go into the rivers and lakes and overtime into the water supply.
