Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic. Igneous rocks are made of solidified magma. Sedimentary rocks are those that are made by the weathering or erosion of soil of Earth. Metamorphic rocks are when rocks are changed from one material to another; new minerals are created.

Rocks are categorized into three distinct types based on their method of formation. The three types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Early in Earth's history, all rock was igneous, having formed from the cooling of melt on the surface.An igneous rock is simply a rock that has solidified from magma or lava upon cooling. Igneous rocks can be intrusive (solidified from magma underground) or extrusive (solidified from lava at or near the surface). The bulk of Earth's crust is formed from igneous rock. Examples of igneous rock include basalt, obsidian, rhyolite, granite, diorite, gabbro, and pumice.A sedimentary rock is one that is formed by the accumulation of small to large sediment particles derived from all three types of rock and in some cases organic material, and undergoes compaction, cementation, or evaporation from/precipitation from a saturated mineral solution. Sedimentary rock is classified as organic, (derived from organisms), clastic (formed from any size particle of preexisting rock), or non-clastic (also referred to as chemical), where the sedimentary rock is formed from the evaporation of a solution that is saturated with mineral compounds. Examples of organic sedimentary rocks are coal and limestone. Examples of clastic sedimentary rocks are conglomerate and shale. Examples of non-clastic or chemical sedimentary rocks are rock gypsum and rock salt.A metamorphic rock is an igneous, sedimentary, or another metamorphic rock that has either been squeezed by incredible pressures deep underground and/or has been exposed to very high temperatures, altering its structure, mineral alignment, or chemical composition. Metamorphic rocks are classified as contact (from proximity to a magmatic intrusion) or regional (resulting from deep burial and pressures from plate collisions Metamorphic rock is also classified as foliated or non-foliated, foliation being the parallel alignment of the constituent minerals in bands that are perpendicular to the applied pressure. Metamorphic rocks can also be described by the grade of metamorphism which has taken place from low to high, high being the closest to the next stage in the rock cycle, melting. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, quartzite, marble, phyllite, schist, and gneiss.
It is false. When a physical change takes place, the colors, texture, brittleness will change.

Heat and pressure
All rocks on Earth take part in the "Rock Cycle". For an igneous or metamorphic rock to change into a sedimentary rock, they must undergo weathering and erosion by wind, water, and/or ice. The broken down pieces of rock (sediments) settle into layers that form a sedimentary rock.
compacting and cementing
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.
Igneous to sedimentary: Igneous rock becomes exposed at the surface. Weathering of the rock occurs and the rock is broken down into smaller and smaller particles. The particles are transported and deposited by rain, wind, gravity, or ice to a place of deposition, where they eventually lithify through compaction and cementation into a sedimentary rock.Igneous to metamorphic: An igneous rock body is exposed to heat and pressures from tectonic plate collisions. The directional stress imposed on the rock causes the constituent minerals to align themselves perpendicularly to the direction of the stress and some recrystallization may occur, creating a banded or foliated metamorphic rock.
If sedimentary rock is melted, then solidifies from melt, it is now an igneous rock. This can occur from contact with an intruding body of magma, or from heat and pressure from deep burial or collisions between plates and orogenic processes, where the sedimentary rock is first metamorphosed before melting.
The best way to know when a physical change is taking place is to observe. There will be a visible change in physical changes.
It is a physical change

Different source areas came together in one place. Still considered sedimentary, because it's composed of sediments. Doesn't matter what the composition is, could be metamorphic in there too.
By origin and method of formation. Igneous--molten material, sedimentary--from sediments, metamorphic--from existing rock that has undergone a physical change. The Three Rock Types and the Rock Cycle The three rock types are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. At one time, early in Earth's history, all rocks were igneous, having solidified from molten rock. The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into another rock type over time, a type of natural recycling. Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma cooling underground, or lava above ground are formed from previous igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks which have become melted, usually as a result of plate collision and subduction. When these igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that are transported by wind and water to a place of deposition, where they can form into sedimentary rock strata, through a process of lithification, where excess water is squeezed out by overburden pressures and the particles are cemented together by various minerals precipitating out of solution. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can both be turned into sedimentary rocks in this way. Igneous and sedimentary rocks can also be changed by heat and/or pressure into metamorphic rocks, by transforming their existing mineral structures into new minerals or realigning the existing minerals. There are different degrees of metamorphism, so even an existing metamorphic rock can become a different metamorphic rock. If these metamorphic rocks are melted, then solidify, they become igneous rocks, and the cycle starts all over again. The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheric plate movements which cause subduction and uplift, also by climatic conditions and the associated erosion and weathering components.
