Metamorphic rocks in which the minerals show no alignment are called non-foliated metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that have been altered by heat, pressure, or ion exchange. Therefore, there is a wide range of metamorphic rock component material.
crystals
foliated metamorphic rocks. The alternating layers are caused by the alignment and segregation of minerals during the metamorphic process, resulting in a banded or layered appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and slate.
Schists are metamorphic rocks with parallel alignment of minerals.

Metamorphic is a group of rocks with similar characteristics. There are minerals in the rocks so they could be considered made of minerals but they are not minerals themselves.
Minerals can form in metamorphic rock from the loss of water during compression. Hydrous minerals are replaced with non-hydrous minerals.

because if the metamorphic rocks are big they will shrink
It is foliated
no.
