Yes, the other type is a foliate rock with bands of minerals.
True.
The type of metamorphic rock would be classified as a nonfoliated metamorphic rock, like quartzite and marble.
The Texture term for metamorphic rock which are not banded or layered is non-foliated metamorphic rock. Good examples are marble and quartzite.
Lack of banding
Quartzite
Nonfoliated rock

Metamorphic rock displaying banding is referred to as foliated metamorphic rock.
Quartz is a mineral, not a rock that neither does or does not exhibit foliation (a banding, layering, or alignment of minerals that presents itself in some metamorphic rocks). Quartzite, a rock made almost entirely of quartz, is a non-foliated metamorphic rock.
Slate is a foliated metamorphic rock.
Quartzite, Marble, and Soapstone are three examples of nonfoliated rock.
No banding or alignment of a metamorphic rock's minerals would be consider non-foliated.
The two groups of metamorphic rock are foliated and nonfoliated. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as contact and regional.
