Pressure, heat, & erosion.
There are chemical, physical, and biological changes.

The texture of a sedimentary rock is determined by a number of factors, including:
The size, shape, and composition of the sediment particles that make up the rock.ʰᵗᵗᵖˢ://ʷʷʷ.ᵈᶦᵍᶦˢᵗᵒʳᵉ²⁴.ᶜᵒᵐ/ʳᵉᵈᶦʳ/³⁷²⁵⁷⁶/ᴷᵘᵐᵃʳᴾᵃˢʷᵃⁿ/
The amount of compaction and cementation that the rock has undergone.
The depositional environment in which the rock formed, such as a river, beach, or desert.
The amount of time that the rock has been exposed to weathering and erosion.
The presence of any mineral or chemical cementing agents.
The depositional history of the rock, including any diagenetic changes that have occurred during its formation.
The amount of pressure and heat that the rock has been subjected to during the formation of the rock.ʰᵗᵗᵖˢ://ʷʷʷ.ᵈᶦᵍᶦˢᵗᵒʳᵉ²⁴.ᶜᵒᵐ/ʳᵉᵈᶦʳ/³⁷²⁵⁷⁶/ᴷᵘᵐᵃʳᴾᵃˢʷᵃⁿ/

What factors affect the texture of igneous rock?
the length of time the magma had to cool
What are clasts?
Clasts are rock fragments, also pieces of rock that make up the texture of some sedimentary rock (clastic sedimentary rock).

What type of texture does an organic sedimentary rock have?
well it depends. if its agray rock, it has a gray texture. if its a gold rock, it has a high value texture. etc

What Property Is More Important For Each Sedimentary Rock Types?
Out of texture and composition , it's texture.
Is sedimentary rock foliated or nonfoliated?
Sedimentary rock can appear foliated, but the nomenclature of foliation is usually reserved for the context of metamorphic rock texture description.
