Is diamond an igneous or sedimentary rock?

Igneous, it is brought to the surface as an igneous Xenolith. The diamond crystal itself is of metamorphic origin it is metamorphosed carbon. It is more closely related to igneous rocks, as diamond forms in magma under very high temperatures and pressures, where there is no appreciable oxygen to burn the carbon. Artificial diamonds can be "grown" in a similar way by accumulating individual carbon crystals from a hot plasma (gas), in a process called chemical vapor deposition.


Are the diamonds formed the same way as igneous rocks?

No. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Diamond is a mineral which is formed at great depth below the surface, from intense pressure and heat.
