Disconformity.
Formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations are called interbedded formations. These formations are typically deposited in between layers of pre-existing rocks due to changes in sedimentation patterns or depositional environments over time.
Yes, a dike forms when magma intrudes into existing rock layers and solidifies. As the magma cools and solidifies underground, it creates a vertical or near-vertical sheet-like body of igneous rock that cuts across the existing rock layers.
Any gap in age of rock between rock layers is called an uncomformity. An unconformity is the contact between two layers representing a gap in the geologic record, usually from the erosion of the layers which would normally be expected to appear.
When rock layers form parallel to each other, it is called stratification. This process occurs when sediments settle and accumulate in horizontal layers over time, resulting in distinct bands or layers of rock.
The boundary between two sedimentary rock layers is called a bedding plane or stratigraphic boundary. It represents a break in the deposition of sediment, marking a change in the environment or conditions under which the rocks were formed.
The formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations called sills. Another formation between layers is called laccoliths.

An intrusion (:
bedding plane
The layers of rock form a dome called a laccolith

A sill is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock. It is typically horizontal and parallel to the surrounding rock layers. Sills are distinguishable from dikes, which cut across the rock layers.
I think the answer you are looking for is bedrock. Hope I helped.. If I did, your welcome :)
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
