Do all rocks go through the rock cycle?

Yes. All rocks are at some point in the rock cycle depending on its own composition and the environment it is in (it can be subject to weathering to form sedimentary rocks, high temperature and pressure to form metamorphic rocks, or melting and cooling to form igneous rocks)


What rock is made of other rocks?

Sedimentary rocks are made from weathered down materials, often rocks, so they can be argued that they come from other rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks; these rocks go under extreme heat and pressure. In conclusion, metamorphic rocks are definitely made from other rocks, and sedimentary rocks are sometimes made from other rocks. Sedimentary rocks are always made of other rocks,extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks as well as metamorphic rocks are weathered and eroded by agents like water , wind and sunlight and are stratified and compacted to form sedimentary rocks. Hence, even if metamorphic rocks are made from rocks, sedimentary rocks are definitely made from other rocks. Eg: sedimentary rock shale gets metamorphosed into slate and further metamorphosed into shcist which is the parent material of granite which can be effected by agents of weathering and erosion into sedimentary rocks again.
