In reality, every rock on Earth could be formed of ingredients from any of the three rock types: sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic. This is referred to as the rock cycle, the continuous, billions of years old process of rock recycling.

As for the direct transformation of one rock type into another due to heat and pressure, only metamorphic rock can be created this way. The metamorphism can occur to existing sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock.
Igneous rock can be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed by heat and pressure, becoming a Metamorphic Rock before being melted into Igneous. Sedimentary Rock can also be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming another Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed by heat and pressure, becoming a Metamorphic Rock before being melted into Igneous. Metamorphic Rock can be eroded into sediments, Ultimately becoming Sedimentary rock. And it can also be metamorphosed farther by heat and pressure, becoming another type of Metamorphic Rock in the line before being melted into Igneous.

Are all rocks volcanic?

No. Rocks can be classified into three general groups: Igneous rocks, which form from molten rock Sedimentary rocks, which form from broken-down rocks turned back into stone Metamorphic rocks, which form as rocks change due to heat and pressure without melting. Igneous rocks are further divided into intrusive rocks, which cool underground, and extrusive rocks, which cool above ground. Only extrusive igneous rocks are considered volcanic.
