metamorphic rock
No, high pressure alone cannot change an igneous rock into sedimentary rock; however, the reverse is true. High pressure can change sedimentary rock into igneous rock.
Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.
Heat and pressure
Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.

heat and pressure.
Heat and pressure are the main agents that change igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks. The intense heat and pressure alter the mineral composition and texture of the rocks, resulting in the formation of new minerals and a more compact, crystalline structure. Additionally, the presence of fluids such as water can enhance these metamorphic processes by facilitating mineral reactions.
Heat and pressure
An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
