Rock formed from the compression and cementation of particles of other rocks is called clastic sedimentary rock.
A sedimentary rock becomes another sedimentary rock through erosion. The rock is eroded into bits, carried away, deposited and cemented and then lithified into a new sedimentary rock
A sedimentary rock could undergo heat and pressure to become a metamorphic rock, melt into an igneous rock, or get weathered, eroded and deposited into another sedimentary rock
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and hardens. These rocks can either be weathered/broken down into smaller pieces to become sediment or they can be subjected to heat and pressure causing them to either melt or become metamorphic rocks. If the sediments become cemented together then the rock is a sedimentary rock.

It doesn't have to. Most rocks exposed at the surface will erode and become sedimentary, but igneous rock that is underground can be remelted and become another igneous rock, or can become metamorphic.
Any type of rock, igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, can become eroded and re-deposited and cemented together to become a new sedimentary rock.

Yes it is possible for a sedimentary rock to be changed into a different sedimentary rock.
Igneous rocks are a "finished product". They do not become sedimentary rock - though sedimentary rocks, with heat and pressure can become metamorphic rocks.

Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
