It can be changed by being broken down in the weathering process just like all rocks. The resulting sediment can then be lithified to for a sedimentary rock.

What is formed when igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are changed due to heat and pressure?

When igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are changed due to heat and pressure, they can form metamorphic rocks. This process is known as metamorphism, and it often results in the rocks being altered in texture and mineral composition. Metamorphic rocks can include marble, schist, and gneiss.
