Changed rocks are called metamorphic. Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, through the use of heat and pressure.

What rocks are formed from high temperature and pressures?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can be changed by high temperatures and pressure, and the resultant rock is called metamorphic, because its form has been changed.
How are rocks changed into soil?
rocks are chaged to soil by earths layering
What are rocks changed by intense pressure and heat become new rocks called?
I think you are looking for the term "Metamorphic".
Rocks are rocks that have changed from one type of rock to another?
Yes. Igneous rocks have been charged from other rocks by melting followed by solidification. Sedimentary rocks have been changed from other rocks by weathering, erosion, deposition, and consolidation. Metamorphic rocks have been changed from other rocks by pressure and heat.
What is the process called where igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rocks are changed by heat or pressure?
Your question contains part of the answer, 'metamorphic' rocks are the product of this process and the process is called Metamorphism - the solid-state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks as a result of changes in heat, pressure, and/or introduction of fluids.
