Directional pressure and high temperatures are two factors that could cause an igneous rock to metamorphose. Processes that lead to these factors could be tectonic plate movements, depth of burial, or proximity to an intrusive body.
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary 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.
Yes, it can. However, an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock skipping sedimentary: the tectonic plates can push igneous rock deep into the ground, forming metamorphic rock. Sedimentary can form metamorphic, metamorphic can form magma or lava by melting and/or erupting and then turn into igneous. Igneous forms sedimentary with erosion, deposition compaction, and cementation.
Metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through the process of partial melting. When metamorphic rock is exposed to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust, some of its mineral components may melt and re-crystallize into new igneous rock as the magma cools and solidifies.
When metamorphic rock turns into igneous rock, the process is known as anatexis. During anatexis, the metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing it to partially melt. This molten rock then solidifies to form igneous rock as it cools and crystallizes.
Erosion
The rock cycle
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.

An igneous rock, just like any other rock, can be changed through metamorphic, igneous, and/or sedimentary processes. When exposed to high temp. and pressure, igneous becomes metamorphic. When re-melted, it becomes igneous again. When weathered/eroded, it becomes sedimentary.
