Well, sedimentary 'rocks' are made when small parts of eroded rocks are carried by rivers and deposited to the bottom of a river/sea bed. Over time, the pressure of the sea pushes the rocks deeper down, forming a layer of 'Sedimentary' rocks.

Miners collect this rock to make other types of rock materials like limestone and sandstone.
