Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and hardens. These rocks can either be weathered/broken down into smaller pieces to become sediment or they can be subjected to heat and pressure causing them to either melt or become metamorphic rocks. If the sediments become cemented together then the rock is a sedimentary rock.
