What determines whether a metamorphic is foliated or non- foliated?

The presence of aligned minerals in the rock determines if it is foliated or non-foliated.

The amount of pressure and temperature the rock experiences during metamorphism also influences whether it will develop a foliated or non-foliated texture.
