Because it forms from animals that were once living which makes it an organic sediment. It can also be classified into the Detrital sedimentary rock category because it is compacted together.
It is produced by the processes of living organisms which draw in calcite to construct their shells and structures. The shells and structures that remain (the clasts in this case) after the organisms have died become cemented together into the rock coquina.
Let's see--a rock composed of rounded pebbles cemented together is conglomerate; cemented sand grains forms sandstone; rock salt forms from evaporating solutions--that leaves coquina, a rock formed from the shells of marine organisms which definitely fits the definition of organic. Must be coquina.
Conglomerate is a typical sedimentary rock.
Coquina is a bioclastic sedimentary rock.
Its a Sedimentary rock
limestone
Coquina is classified as an organic rock because it is composed of fragments of shells that come from animals like mollusks. Its texture is rough and granular due to the big shell-like particles.

soil is classified by its texture and what minerals are in it

The texture of an organic food depends on the type of food it is. Since organic is a method of growing, the difference in organic and non-organic is that organic does not use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The texture of the food would be the same regardless of whether it is grown organically.

No, if you try to melt it at this point ti's going to separate and you will end up with something roughly the texture of oily sand.
