Compaction is a step in the creation of detrital sedimentary rock, those formed from the lithification of sediments.
Weathering and erosion.

The step right before is when erosion breaks down rock.
It's when parts of both igneous and metamorphic rocks are crushed together and then they form sedimentary rocks.
The second step of the rock cycle is crystallization; the process where liquid rock cools to become minerals/crystals.
