Is the sedimentary rock strong?

That depends on the rock. Some sedimentary rocks are used as construction material, or as raw material for different kinds of industries. Older sedimentary rocks have a scientific value as well, as ages of fossils can be determined by studying them.

Explain the statement One rock is the raw material for another?

The rock cycle is a complex cycle that involves the formation and deterioration of rocks. This cycle is also interrelated with many other cycles in earth's system of cycles. But the rock cycle displays the "one rock is the raw material for another", because rocks go through three phases/types: igneous, sedimentary, and matamorphic rock. Igneous rock forms when they are a part of magma and they cool off , also known as crystalization. This crystalization can and will form either under the earth's surface or on the surface following an eruption. The rock that is formed is then exposed to any number of wearthering elements. These weathering elements will deteriorate the rock until it is eventually turned into sediment. This sediment is typically carried down by gravity into any number of basins: the ocean, river beds, swamps, deserts, etc. This sediment eventually becomes buried under many many more layers of sediment. The resulting pressure from all the sediment above forces the sediment to solidify or undergo lithification( conversion into rock). This sedimentary rock is loosely fitting until water comes and fills in the gaps with binding minerals. This sedimentary rock is either eventually involved in seismic activity or forced back into the magma flow into which it will become a part of the whole system. This rock is known as metamorphic rock. This metamorphic rock involves rock that has lossed its solid properties due to either heat or pressure. So, over any given period of years a rock may be formed, eroded, melted, and formed all over again any number of times. Thus bringing to light the "one rock is the raw material for another".
