No. Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks by the action of heat and pressure. Igneous rocks are formed when liquid magma (or lava) cools and sets. Sedimentary rocks are formed when solid particles sink to the bottom of bodies of water, and gradually get compressed together by later sediments.
