Conglomerate consists of cemented pebbles of various sizes.

Rock that is formed from volcanoes are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from other layers of grains that are heaving and over millions of years have enough weight squish the grains into a proper rock. This is why the newest rocks are found at the top of layers.
No. It's too late.Unless it gets eroded itself and eventually forms layers of sediment which may then get turned into rock.
Sediment is the stuff that settles at the bottom of a liquid (such as the bottom of a pond). It can include sand and pebbles but also dead plants and animals. If conditions are right, the sediment can dry out and turn into a sedimentary rock (a rock made from sediment). Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils of plants or animals that fell into the "muck" at the bottom of a body of water. Cool, huh?
It is said to be a clastic sedimentary rock.
Conglomerate
Yes, coarse sedimentary rock can be made up of pebbles or boulders. Coarse sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of larger grains, such as pebbles and boulders, that are transported by water, ice, or wind. These larger grains are typically found in rocks like conglomerate or breccia.

Sedimentary rocks made up of rounded pebbles cemented together are called conglomerate rocks. These rocks typically have a coarse texture and are formed through the deposition and lithification of pebbles in a sedimentary environment.
Some are, yes. But broadly speaking, sedimentary is rock made of sediment, which can be far smaller. A classic example of a rock/pebble rock is conglomerate.
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made of the largest particles, which are typically rounded pebbles and boulders.
sedimentary rock
A conglomerate rock is a heterogeneous material.
No, pebbles are not necessarily igneous rocks by default. Pebbles can be formed from a variety of rock types, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, depending on the geological processes that created them.
No, pebbles are small, rounded fragments of rock that can be found within sedimentary rocks, but they are not considered sedimentary rocks themselves. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and solidification of sediments over time.
Pebble conglomerate is rock that is made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments.
