Rocks have been here for millions of years so they didn't really just pop up. There are three main types of rocks, Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary. Igneous rock is rock formed when magma or lava cools or hardens. Metamorphic rock is rock formed when heat, pressure or fluids act on igneous, sedimentary or other metamorphic rock to change its form or composition. Sedimentary rock forms when sediments are compacted or cemented together or when minerals form from solution. Rocks are made from on or more minerals, volcanic glass, inorganic matter, orother natural material. So for rocks to have became there had to have been minerals first.

What rock is made of other rocks?
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.
