Nothing, possibly. Metamorphism of sedimentary rock may be dependent on depth of burial, directed pressure, or exposure to high temperatures or hot fluids.
sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rock is formed when debris, such as sand, clay, and other particles, is buried, compressed, and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
A sedimentary rock can undergo metamorphism to form a metamorphic rock, can be weathered and eroded into sediment, or can be buried deep in the Earth to undergo lithification to form a new sedimentary rock.
The two processes to form sedimentary rock are called compaction and cementation. Compaction occurs when sediments are buried and squeezed together by the weight of overlying deposits. Cementation happens when minerals in groundwater fill the spaces between sediment grains and bind them together.
It depends how deep it is buried. If it is just covered with more and more sediment, it will compact and cement to become sedimentary rock. If it is buried to the point where it gets into the mantle or a comparable area, it can become melted into an igneous rock or baked and altered into a metamorphic rock.
They become compacted and cemented into sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic rock, if buried deep enough.

yes it can be buried so deep it could turn into a metamorphic rock, or it could get buried next to a volcano and be molded into an igneous rock.
