Which came first sedimentary igneous metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rock would probably have been the first rock type formed after the initial formation of the first igneous rock. Sedimentary rock formation relies on weathering and erosion, whereas metamorphic rock can be created by heat and pressure. It's likely that rock was metamorphosed before weathering existed .
Why must igneous come before sedimentary in the rock cycle?
For most purposes there is no "beginning" to the rock cycle. Any rock can be weathered away and remade into sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks are sometimes depicted as the start of the rock cycle because the first rocks on Earth were igneous.

Would the oldest rocks on earth be igneous or sedimentary?
The creation of igneous rock from magma is dependent on the cooling rate of the magma. Some igneous rocks form almost instantaneously, and others take hundreds of thousands of years. So igneous rock could be the youngest of the three rock types at any given point in time.
If magma crystallizes before it reaches earths surface it will form a what igneous rock?
It will for an intrusive igneous rock. They usually take longer to cool and have more coarse grains.
