They must undergo deposition then have heat and pressure applied. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the actions of chemical or mechanical processes.
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
To become a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock must first be weathered, and then eroded, and then deposited as a sediment, and then consolidated (e.g. by cementation or pressure welding of grains.) To become a metamorphic rock it must be transformed by heat and pressure, which it can do directly (e.g. granite turning into gneiss) or after first turning into a sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic rocks can melt into magma and then undergo cooling and crystallization to become an igneous rock. Or, they can undergo weathering and erosion into sediments and then lithify to become sedimentary rocks. +++ They can melt and become magma only if subducted - a process normally confined to the sea-floor plate.
An igneous rock would need to weather and erode, the sediments transported by wind, water, ice, or gravity to a place of deposition where they would undergo compaction and cementation, thus creating a sedimentary rock.
The process of settling out and grading of sediments is known out deposition. This will commonly happen after erosion takes place.
The sediments go into the ocean and get dry and become buried. The sediments go through some cementation and compaction and become sedimentary rock! :) Hope you enjoy...

The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
it can turn into molten rock it can be heated and pressured and turn into metamorphic it can weather and turn to sediments
um ok

It is then sedimentary rock.
It would have to be weathered & the fragments cemented together.

if you were to continue moving the bottle for a long time what would happen to the large sediments?
