Yes, pressure is a metaphoric agent along with heat, and hydrothermal solution. Rocks are classified by the process in which they are formed, meta means change and morph means form.

One thing that is not a metamorphic agent is sediment. Metamorphic agents include heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids, which facilitate the transformation of existing rocks into metamorphic rocks. Sediment, on the other hand, refers to fragments of rock and minerals that accumulate and can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks rather than metamorphic ones.

Lithification is the answer if you dont have the others
Metamorphic rocks can be subject to multiple agents simultaneously, such as heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. The specific combination of these agents determines the type and characteristics of the resulting metamorphic rock.

Metamorphic rocks are those which have changed type due to heat, presssure or some other geologic agent.
Heat and pressure are not metamorphic agents. Heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids are the three main agents of metamorphism that can change the mineral composition and texture of rocks over time.

the meta conglomerate is a metamorphic rock it's mineral composition is from quartz & it has a non- foliated texture, it's formed via temprature (the agent of metamorphism) & the type of metamorphism is said to be "thermal" & the pre-metamorphic rock is conglomerate.
