Best Answer

Sedimentary rocks are ones formed by solidified mud and loose earth. Metamorphic rocks are ones formed by some sort of change, such as melting and re-cooling. So they are similar in some senses (they are both rocks, both of the earth) but in others they are very different (physical properties).
