In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are differentin their method of formation. Igneous rocks solidify from melt, sedimentary rocks form from the lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from the application of heat and/or pressure over time. These rocks are alike in some ways, too, however. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks can share compositions -- they can be composed of cominations of biotite, calcite, quartz or other minerals. Their origin can also be shared. For example, a composite volcano has all three types: a sedimentary rock formed from welded pyroclastics, called welded volcanic tuff, piles up on the slopes. Lava solidifies on the slopes as well, forming igneous rocks. Inside the volcano, solid rock is exposed to heat but doesn't melt. This rock is transformed into metamorphic rock.
