Yes
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
Rocks that have been worn away or broken up by chemical, biological, or physical processes are called "sedimentary rocks." These processes, known as weathering and erosion, lead to the breakdown of pre-existing rocks into smaller particles, which can then accumulate and eventually lithify into sedimentary formations. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
No, sedimentary rocks can be subjected to heat and pressure, causing them to change into metamorphic rocks through a process called metamorphism. Additionally, sedimentary rocks can also undergo erosion and weathering which can break them down into sediments that can be lithified into new sedimentary rocks.
Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.

Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks that form through the process of weathering, erosion, and compaction are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate. These rocks are made up of fragments of pre-existing rocks that have been transported and deposited.
When rocks undergo weathering, they can form sedimentary rocks. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller sediments, which then get compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
