Plasticity is usually a term used in reference to metamorphic rocks, and refers to the plastic-like ability of very hot and intensely pressurized rocks to bend and alter their shape without fracturing.

weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Rocks are invariably considered as solid, though on a geological scale, they may be plastic. Granites, and volcanic output are rocks, as are metamorphosed rocks such as marble ans schist. Liquid lava is not yet a rock but will be when it chills.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.

No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.

No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.
