Mica is not a type of foliated rock but is in fact the name for a subdivision of a group of minerals known as Phyllosilicates.
They form as parallel sheets of silicate tetrahedra resulting in thin sheet like crystals. Foliations are planer alignments of crystals within metamorphic and igneous rocks and foliated rocks may contain micaceous minerals.
See the related link for a picture of a Quartz-Mica Schist seen in thin section and viewed through a petrographic microscope with the polarising filters crossed.
In the example picture the white, grey and black amorphous blobs are quartz crystals and the long, thin, brightly coloured (predominantly blue and yellow) crystals are muscovite mica.
No. First of all, mica is a class of minerals, not a rock. It is more common in metamorphic rock and intrusive igneous rock than it is in volcanic rock.
Mica is a mineral group.
No, mica is a mineral

Yes
Mica schist is a metamorphic rock with a predominance of micaceous minerals.
No, mica is a metamorphic rock. It is an excellent high voltage insulator.

Mica is a class of minerlas, not a rock. Different micas have different chemical compositions.
Mica schist is a metamorphic rock with a predominance of micaceous minerals.
Granite is intrusive, can be pink, and contains mica.
Mica is formed by chemicals combining their industrial forces with fresh water and turning into thin breakable sheet rock.
It is a folliated metamorphic rock.

A Mica Garnet schist is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale or a granitic mother rock when this is squashed and heated at death in the crust.
No, mica is a metamorphic rock. It is an excellent high voltage insulator.
