Stratification
The nickname for sedimentary rock is "rock cake," due to its layered nature formed from the accumulation of sediment over time.

The size of the grains in a sedimentary rock can be determined by examining the texture of the rock. Coarser grains indicate a larger grain size, while finer grains indicate a smaller grain size. Other features that can provide clues to grain size include the sorting (uniformity of grain sizes) and rounding of the grains.
The most noticeable characteristic of sedimentary rock is its layered appearance, which is known as "bedding." These layers are formed over time as different sediment deposits accumulate and are compressed together.
Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers as strata. The feature that tells how a sedimentary rock is layered is called the bedding.

It can't unless you mean it gets more layered.

The pressure is from the weight of rock and sediment layered on top of the rock in question.
Layered rock is called stratified rock. These rocks are formed over time as sediments accumulate in horizontal layers and become compacted and hardened into rock. Stratified rocks often display distinct layers of different colors and compositions.
No. Extrusive igneous rocks are usually layered. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which resembles layering, but it is not the same thing.
The anagram is sedimentary, a form of layered rock.
Shale is the type of sedimentary rock that is impermeable.
