Throughout the years many pieces have broken off and since been removed. The first break was when it was loaded on a carriage. I believe that is why it has always been called Plymouth Rock and not Plymouth Rocks.
Rock and Roll.
It was NOT, as many people surmise, Fraggle Rock. Nor was it Schoolhouse Rock, Jailhouse Rock, or "Let's Rock!" It was a large boulder that came to be known as Plymouth Rock.
Many bands started rock and roll during the 1950's. It is believed that Bill Hailey had the first successful rock and roll record.
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
Only in that igneous rock was the first to form on Earth, over 4 billion years ago.
Sedimentary rock can form another rock by being tossed and thrown into the water it takes about maybe 10 years for Sedimentary rock to form another rock.
It varies with the type of rock being formed. Some igneous rock is formed in a matter of minutes; some sedimentary rock is formed in processes requiring many millions of years.
A sedimentary rock takes thousands to million of years to form because it is formed from lava (or magma). After thousands and millions of years, allowing the rock to cool, forms a rock shape, which we call a sedimentary rock. Please don't copy and paste this answer to present it as your own.

It could take minutes or thousands of years, depending on the rate of cooling.
10,000,000+ years
It would have taken 500,000 years for the sedimentary rock layer to form, as 2 meters is equivalent to 2,000 mm and dividing by the accumulation rate of 4 mm per year gives 500,000 years.
It can take thousands to millions of years for sedimentary rock to form, depending on factors such as the type of sediment and the environmental conditions. The process involves the accumulation and compaction of sediment layers over time, leading to the eventual transformation into solid rock through lithification.

Rock
The word Precambrian describes the approximate age of the rock, it could be sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic and there are many ways in which these 3 types of rock could form.
In many cases the molten rock at the surface cools too quickly for crystals to form.
