When the rock was forming other minerals that were near the forming place of the metamorphic rock were mixed in after the pressure has been made on the metamorphic rock. I am a seventh grade teacher so I know the answer. We are going over this in class right now.

How is petrified wood different from molds and casts?
Petrified wood is when the tree is in contact with elements and minerals that solidify it into a rock or petrified tree. A mold is the fossilized imprint from an animal or plant organism, whilst a cast is when the organism died or ended up in a rock/mineral and ended up being filled with the minerals of the surroundings over time (from the limestone as example). This creates a replica of the organism once the actual organism dissolves. This is what I gathered from science class today... So I suggest you do more research if needed. Forgive me if I'm wrong. Good luck with whatever you need this for
When is a metamorphic rock change into a igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks are made by heat and pressure, and assuming this isn't a grown person, you SHOULD know that igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma that hardens, so it is when a metamorphic rock is melted, and then hardens. This creates igneous rock.
