Clay's parent rock is typically shale, which is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction and cementation of clay particles. However, clay can also originate from the weathering and alteration of other rocks, including igneous and metamorphic rocks. The specific type of clay and its characteristics can vary depending on the parent rock and the environmental conditions during its formation.
Reasoning : soil particles the diameters of which are less than 0.005 millimetre; also a rock that is composed essentially of clay particles. Rock in this sense includes soils, ceramic clays, clay shales, mudstones, glacial clays (including great volumes of detrital and transported clays), and deep-sea clays (red clay, blue clay, and blue mud). These are all characterized by the presence of one or more clay minerals, together with varying amounts of organic and detrital materials, among which quartz is predominant. Clay materials are plastic when wet, and coherent when dry. Most clays are the result of weathering.

sometimes rocks break off into pices the rock the pices came from is known as the parent rock
Parent Rock, apexx
phyllite is a type of metasedimentary rock. The parent rock likely contained clays and/or micas, which have metamorphosed into micas and aligned due to pressure. This shiny surface is produced by the alignment of the minerals.
Mudstone or shale.
Limestone does not have a parent rock.
Clays lithify into shale. Shale metamorphoses into slate.
Mineral. Various clays are used to make the ceramics of toilets.

Chert is a type of sedimentary rock made up of quartz and has a cryptocrystalline structure. It is often considered the parent rock of flint, jasper, and agate due to their similar composition and formation processes.
Limestone doesn't normally have a parent rock. One exception to this may be a detrital limestone, whose parent rock would however also be limestone!
No, parent rock refers to the original rock from which soil is formed through weathering processes. Weathered rock particles are the result of the breakdown of parent rock due to physical, chemical, or biological processes.
