Metamorphism is the process by which any kind of rock is changed into a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism uses heat and pressure to change the chemistry within a rock. An igneous rock will get "cooked" and look differently after the metamorphose. A sedimentary rock is composed by debris from older pre-existing rocks deposited in layers. These layers will become bent and the new rock will look "squeezed" after the metamorphose.
Examples of metamorphosed rocks:
Granite - Gneiss
Shale - Slate
Limestone - Marble
