Conglomerates form from clastic sediments which are products of weathering, so, conglomeratic materials could be formed from any other rock type. Conglomerate itself is an Example of Mechanically formed Sedimentary Rock.
Conglomerates are a type of sedimentary rock characterized by their composition of rounded clasts, or large fragments, that are cemented together by a finer matrix. They typically form in environments with high-energy conditions, such as riverbeds or beach settings, where larger particles are transported and deposited. The clasts can vary in size and composition, often including pebbles, gravel, or even boulders.
When a sedimentary rock or any other rock kind melts, it becomes magma and when it sollidifies it forms an igneous rock.
Metaconglomerate differs from a sedimentary rock conglomerate primarily in its formation and texture. While sedimentary conglomerates are formed from the compaction and cementation of gravel-sized clasts in a sedimentary environment, metaconglomerates arise from the metamorphism of existing conglomerates under heat and pressure, leading to changes in mineralogy and texture. Additionally, metaconglomerates often exhibit a foliation or alignment of grains due to the metamorphic processes, which is typically absent in sedimentary conglomerates.

Conglomerates are dominantly composed of rounded gravel and breccias are composed of dominantly angular gravel.
Sedimentary or metamorphic.
The difference between breccias and conglomerate is that breccias are angular and conglomerates are smooth. What causes rocks to be smooth is transportation, such as when rocks are in a stream and are worn down. Therefore transportation is what causes the difference between breccias and conglomerates.

Any rock can be broken up and later form a sedimentary rock.
