Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss display banding and regrouping of its mineral constituents as a result of enormous pressures. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of pressure. The pressure is usually related to tectonic plate collisions. Schist is another type of foliated rock that exhibits thin layering of micaceous minerals, once again due to pressure. The difference between these two types of foliated rock lies in the amount of pressure which they were exposed to.
Schist, gneiss, slate, and phyllite are examples of foliated metamorphic rock.
Slate--fine grained foliated metamorphic rock.
Schist--medium grained foliated metamorphic rock.
Gneiss--coarse grained foliated metamorphic rock.
Foliated: gneiss, slate, schist, phyllite.
Non-Foliated: quartzite, marble.
1. Schist. 2. Gneiss. 3. Slate. 4. Phyllite.
Metamorphic rocks have really all and any mineral based upon different rocks. However common ones are quartz, mica, and calcium carbonate.
Phyllite is an example of a fine-grained foliated metamorphic rock
Quartzite, marble, hornfels, and granulite are examples of unfoliated metamorphic rocks.

Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of rock.
