Sedimentary rocks are made from weathered down materials, often rocks, so they can be argued that they come from other rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks; these rocks go under extreme heat and pressure.
In conclusion, metamorphic rocks are definitely made from other rocks, and sedimentary rocks are sometimes made from other rocks.
Sedimentary rocks are always made of other rocks,extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks as well as metamorphic rocks are weathered and eroded by agents like water , wind and sunlight and are stratified and compacted to form sedimentary rocks. Hence, even if metamorphic rocks are made from rocks, sedimentary rocks are definitely made from other rocks. Eg: sedimentary rock shale gets metamorphosed into slate and further metamorphosed into shcist which is the parent material of granite which can be effected by agents of weathering and erosion into sedimentary rocks again.

A sedimentary rock made up of fragments of other rocks such as Breccia is?
A sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments or particles of other rocks is called 'clastic'.
Rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
metamorphic rock
Is a rock a mineral?
A rock is not a mineral however a rock is made of several minerals
What kind of sedimentary rock is made of fragments of rocks cemented together by a mineral?
Breccia is the type of sedimentary rock that is made of other fragmented rocks. The mineral that holds the fragments together can be made from the same rock material as the larger fragments, or from a different type of rock entirely.
What is a sedimentary rock made up of rounded fragments of other rocks is called?
Conglomerate.
What rock is made from particles of other rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rock is composed of cemented particles of other rocks.
Is metamorphic rocks made up of sedimentary rock igneous rock or other metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks
A sedimentary rock made up of fragments of other rocks such as Breccia is?

What are Rocks made from fragments of minerals or other rocks called?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
Can rock be made of other rock?
Sedimentary rocks are rocks made out of sediment, which is often other rocks ground down to powder. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary rocks that have been changed (partially melted and hardened) by being exposed to extreme heat and pressure. So, yes.
Is metamorphic rock made out of 2 other kinds of rocks?
yes
Rocks made when other rocks are subjected to intense pressure and heat?
metamorphic rock
Rocks made of other rock fragments cemented together are called?
They are classified as clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are rocks made from magma?
Some rock (igneous) is made from solidifying magma. Other rock is formed from different processes.
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
How are rocks made into new rocks?
Rocks are made into new rocks through the rock cycle
What are other kinds of rocks?
other kinds of rocks are sedimentary rock or igneous rock
