The texture would reflect the degree and type of metamorphism which had led to its formation. Rock can experience various stages of metamorphism in its evolution depending mostly on changes in heat or pressure. Texture is also dependent on the composition of the protolith, or parent rock.

What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?
An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks. Ethier answer work depending on how the question is read.
Is marble igneous or sedimentary?
Marble is the metamorphosed result of limestone. Therefore, marble is metamorphic.
Is the rock chalk metamorphic?
No it is not metamorphic, it is a sedimentary rock.
What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
Does Metamorphic rock has different kinds of textures?
Yes
What are 2 textures of metamorphic rock?
The two textures of metamorphic rocks are the Foliate and Non-foliate textures.
What and what can change a metamorphic rock into a different metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure
How metamorphic rock become metamorphic rock?
It can undergo more metamorphism, creating a different metamorphic rock, or undergo retrograde metamorphism, which also creates a different metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks can undergo these changes due to increases or decreases in temperature and pressure.
Is metamorphic rock sedimentary?
No, metamorphic rock is not sedimentary; those are two different types.
What are the associated rocks and their textures?
Magmatic fluids coming from the intrusive rock may also take part in the metamorphic reactions.
What causes foliates metamorphic textures?
Heat, along with applied pressures, either from depth of burial or from tectonic forces on rock.
What is the difference between the two types of metamorphic rocks?
how is metamorphic rock different than intrusive rock
How does a metamorphic rock turn into another type of metamorphic rock?
From increased pressure and/or heat. Fluid removal results in hydrous mineral destruction and non-hydrous mineral creation, resulting in rock of a different mineralogy. A metamorphic rock can be further metamorphosed by additional heat and/or pressure into a rock with a higher degree of metamorphism. An example of this would be the metamorphic rock slate changing into the metamorphic rock phyllite.
What is a common structure of metamorphic rock?
The common structure of a metamorphic rock is that there are several pieces of different types of minerals, sand, rock, or glass.
In what way is a metamorphic rock different from the other groups?
No
Is Kimberlite a metamorphic rock?
a sedimentary rock, a sedimentary rock is one that has sediments or minerals that create layers this rock is formed when preasure is put upon it.
