One interesting thing about sedimentary rocks is that since they are comprised of many different sediments, we are able to learn about where it was formed. For example, the sediments present in a conglomerate can tell us a little bit about the history of the rock.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.

No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.
Not all sedimentary rock is good for climbing. Some sedimentary rocks can easily break. Sedimentary rock can be very good for climbing because it often has interesting textures and holds. For example, welded tuft is a kind of sedimentary rock that is very good for climbing due to the large sediments that formed it. It makes for interesting holds and pockets
they form
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
