What must happen to an igneous rock before it can become a sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
To become a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock must first be weathered, and then eroded, and then deposited as a sediment, and then consolidated (e.g. by cementation or pressure welding of grains.) To become a metamorphic rock it must be transformed by heat and pressure, which it can do directly (e.g. granite turning into gneiss) or after first turning into a sedimentary rock.
What process must sedimentary rocks undergo to become metamorphic?
Metamorphism
