What Rock that erodes to expose layering is .?

A rock that erodes to expose layering is called a tilted rock. Tilted rocks are usually formed when tectonic plates push against each other, +++ Sorry but that answer muddles two mechanisms. Layered rocks are normally the sedimentary ones, irrespective of dip (the "tilt"), though volcanic eruptions can also create layers of lava and ash. Yes, plate tectonics do tilt the rocks. Sedimentary rocks are normally deposited in horizontal beds - but uplift and folding from continental collision ("plates pushing against each other") or continental-plate warping tip the affected area of crust and cover rocks, sedimentary or not.
