Yes. Metamorphic rock can be marble because, marble is a form of Metamorphic rock which is composed of coarse crystals from parent limestone or dolostone rocks.
All rocks except volcanic or tectonic glasses have crystals. Therefore all metamorphic rocks have crystals, however in lower metamorphic environments these crystals may remain microscopically small.
they are put together and squated
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.

Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.

they have more crystals
Igneous rocks usually contain the most crystals. The longer it takes the magma to cool, the larger the crystals. According to the Earth Science Reference Tables, pegmatite contains the largest crystals.

Sedimentary rocks tend to have layers. Igneous rocks tend to have crystals. If you don't see layers or crystals, the rock might be metamorphic.
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
Rocks are normally composed of interlocking mineral crystals or clasts. It is rare for metamorphic rocks to be porous and as such there is likely to be very little if any air in them. An example of a very porous rock due to the presence of gasses coming out of solution from a lava is pumice.
