Sedimentary rocks
Rock that erodes to expose layering is known as sedimentary rock.
sedimentary
Layering in sedimentary rock is due to seasonal or event based deposition of small rock particles which reflect the environment at the time of deposition. Layering in metamorphic rocks (foliation) is due to the realignment and alteration of minerals from heat and pressure.
Metamorphic foliation is layering in metamorphic rock. The layers can be very thin, or they can be a meter thick,
Sedimentary rock can display strata, and some metamorphic rocks display metamorphic foliation; both can appear as stripes, layering, or banding.

Slate is a metamorphic rock whose parent rock is Shale. Slate is composed of micro crystals. The easiest way to differentiate the two is distinctive layering. Shale does not show distinctive layering. Slate does show distinctive layering.
