Brick is baked mud, and as such, can be considered to be sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks form from sediments being cemented together?
A sedimentary rock, such as sandstone (quartz mineral grains eroded, transported and set in a fine matrix of mud) or a conglomerate formed in a high energy environment such as a beach of fast-flowing river bed, containing large pebbles set in a fine to medium matrix of sand and mud grains.
Which rock type forms when mud is compacted and lithified into a rock?
Shale
Is sandstone limestone and shale are all examples of igneous rock?
Sandstone, Limestone and Shale are all examples of sedimentary rock, formed by layer after layer of different types of water born sediment laid down over millions of years and compressed into rock. The different types of sediment determine which type of rock is formed, obviously sand being the main component of sandstone, mud can form shale. Igneous rock is rock formed by volcanic processes, different minerals in the molten rock will determine it's type, such as granite. Metamorphic rock is the third type of rock formed by extreme pressure and heat upon sedimentary rock, marble being formed from limestone, slate from shale.
Why is a sedimentary rock called a sedimentary rock?
Because it was originally a sediment, such as sand or mud, but was then lithified into a rock.

What is a turbidite?
