The rock cycle has to start at least with igneous rocks, some of which will be eruptive.
We may assume that any 'sedimentary' rocks that arrived as meteors have all been metamorphosed, though there are counter instances. For example the Sudbury Meteor and mineral complex. (Canada).
No, the rock cycle does not have to start with igneous rock. The rock cycle is a continuous process that can begin with any type of rock, including sedimentary or metamorphic rock. The rocks can undergo transformation through processes such as weathering, erosion, heat and pressure, and melting, eventually forming new rock types.
For most purposes there is no "beginning" to the rock cycle. Any rock can be weathered away and remade into sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks are sometimes depicted as the start of the rock cycle because the first rocks on Earth were igneous.
Igneous rock is formed through the rock cycle. The igneous rock is formed by magma and lava,then it goes through volcanic activity.
New rocks are formed, Igneous Rock, Sedimentary Rock, and Metamorphic Rock. It will take over a million years to complete the rock cycle, then it will start all over again.
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.

Three (3) rocks in the rock cycle are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.

Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.
Igneous rock is formed through the rock cycle. The igneous rock is formed by magma and lava,then it goes through volcanic activity.
