Sedimentary rocks are created when layers of debris are compacted and cemented together. These types of rocks are also known as secondary rocks because they often result from fragments of other rocks being cemented together. The type of sedimentary rock you seem to be asking about is organic. Organic sedimentary rock is formed when the sedimentary debris is compiled through organic processes. For example rocks forming as succesive layers of substrate pile onto one another and compact over time.

The rock formed would usually be classified as clastic sedimentary rock, like shale.
Does TIFF file retain layers?
yes, but you will have very large file if layers are included and experts recommend .psd format for files with layers. If you work in Photoshop better choice is .psd format when layers are included in file, if you need to save in .tif, after choosing this format it will ask you for kind of compression, best choice is LZW, if you choose none, then file size will be huge.
What kind of rocks form when other pieces of rock and matter gather into layers?
a sedimentary rock is formed. depending on which rocks were squished, you can get different rocks
