Sedimentary rock can be turned into lave or magma by contact with either of the substances or exposure to extreme heat. When the lava or magma cools, it becomes igneous rock.

There are four ways that minerals can be formed. From molten rock, from solution, within living cells and by recrystallization.Minerals are formed in nature by a variety of processes. Among them are:Crystallization from melt (igneous rocks)Precipitation from water (chemical sedimentary rocks, hydrothermal ore deposits)Change to more stable state - (the processes of weathering, metamorphism, and diagenesis).Precipitation from vapor. (not common, but sometimes does occur around volcanic vents)
Igneous to sedimentary: Igneous rock becomes exposed at the surface. Weathering of the rock occurs and the rock is broken down into smaller and smaller particles. The particles are transported and deposited by rain, wind, gravity, or ice to a place of deposition, where they eventually lithify through compaction and cementation into a sedimentary rock.Igneous to metamorphic: An igneous rock body is exposed to heat and pressures from tectonic plate collisions. The directional stress imposed on the rock causes the constituent minerals to align themselves perpendicularly to the direction of the stress and some recrystallization may occur, creating a banded or foliated metamorphic rock.
Any type of extrusive igneous rock. (i.e. basalt, rhyolite, andesite...) Also, some sedimentary rocks form at the surface by the precipitation of minerals when solutions cool or the water evaporates out of them. Examples include travertine, a calcite-rich rock that forms in hot mineral spring as the water cools, and various evaporites.
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
Melting and solidification are the processes that must occur for a rock to change into igneous rock.
The process that must occur to change any rock to igneous rock is melting.
What processes must occur to produce an igneous rock
Yes, both sedimentary and igneous rock can be metamorphosed by heat and pressure.

If sedimentary rock is melted, then solidifies from melt, it is now an igneous rock. This can occur from contact with an intruding body of magma, or from heat and pressure from deep burial or collisions between plates and orogenic processes, where the sedimentary rock is first metamorphosed before melting.

Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
An uncomformity will occur in the rock record.
