Why would sedimentary rock have to become metamorphic rock before it becomes magma?

It wouldn't have to in the case of an instant melting from a meteor impact. Normally though, the evolution of a magma from sedimentary rock would include a very long process involving the gradual introduction of heat and/or pressure, causing the sedimentary rock to first metamorophose into a different type of rock.

What is the hardest type of rock igneous metamorphic and sedimentary?
be carefull before weathering is not allowed for sedimentary.
How can sedimentry rock become metamorphic rock?
Well, first before the sediment can become to a metamorphic rock, it has to create into a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock, Then the rocks go under the ground and is under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.
What are sedimentary rocks made of?
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to plant material. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ice, etc. before they are deposited and lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.
What rock was Diamond transformed before being a metamorphic rock?
Diamond is a mineral form of carbon. It is not a metamorphic rock, but a mineral formed from extreme heat and pressure.

Does igneous rock have to become sedimentary rock before it can become metamorphic rock?
No. It can change directly into metamorphic rock due to heat and pressure. For example, granite turning into gneiss.
