The process is called compaction and that is when the mineral grains are pressed together but have pore spaces in between and hot fluids can pass through. Cementation is when they are fully glued on and there aren't any pore spaces.

What is the process which sedimentary rock is in layers?

OK, first the sediments are deposited then they under go cementation (being ''glued together'' by minerals that are left after evaporation) or it can go through compaction ( pressed together). And that is really all that happens.
