Through weathering, typically from abrasion or tumbling.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.

Yes, sedimentary rocks can undergo processes such as compaction, cementation, and recrystallization to become a new sedimentary rock. These processes can alter the original sedimentary rock's texture, composition, and appearance without undergoing metamorphism.

any rock can become a sedimentary rock.
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.
Absolutely. And eventually they can become a part of a new sedimentary rock.
The type of rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together is called sedimentary rock. This process involves the accumulation and compaction of sediments over time, which solidify to form sedimentary rocks.
It must erode into sediment and then be compressed to form sedimentary rock.
