No. The layering or foliation only occurs when there is a variation in the composition of the original rock. If the rock is homogeneous, then there will be no foliation.
Gneiss
foliated metamorphic rocks. The alternating layers are caused by the alignment and segregation of minerals during the metamorphic process, resulting in a banded or layered appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and slate.
non-foliated.
metamorphic rocks
Metamorphic rocks with a layered or banded look are referred to as foliated.
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Not exactly. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which can appear similar to the layers of sedimentary rock. Foliation develops from mineral grains being oriented by pressure, rather than the deposition of layers.

a metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed from one rock to another by heat and/or pressure.....they amount of layers would depend on what kind of rock.....all rocks have a different amount of layers sorry
non-foliated.

No that is a metamorphic rock
