The parent rock of a particular sedimentary layer can provide clues about the history of the formation of that layer.
Chert is a type of sedimentary rock made up of quartz and has a cryptocrystalline structure. It is often considered the parent rock of flint, jasper, and agate due to their similar composition and formation processes.
Limestone doesn't normally have a parent rock. One exception to this may be a detrital limestone, whose parent rock would however also be limestone!
No, parent rock refers to the original rock from which soil is formed through weathering processes. Weathered rock particles are the result of the breakdown of parent rock due to physical, chemical, or biological processes.
Soil comes from parent rock. Due to weathering the action of plant roots etc the parent rock is broken up and over many years gets incorporated into the soil. So the composition of the parent rock will affect the soil that develops over it. The soil could be lacking in certain minerals due to the parent rock. The soil could be acidic or basic due to the parent rock. But there is more to soil composition than just the parent rock.
The little pebble across the road war part of the parent rock. Is that good enough?

Soil can be carried away from it's parent rock by wind, water, ice or gravity.
There is a rock and roll band with a song titled "Blinded by Science".

I personally find "the idea of" superfluous.
Geode is a rock or stone with crystals.
