Examples would be: limestone, chalj, dolostone, sandstone, conglomerate and some types of shale.
Because it was originally a sediment, such as sand or mud, but was then lithified into a rock.
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
At this point they are none of the above. They are sediment. If lithified they will form sedimentary rock.
A consolidated rock is called a "lithified" rock. This means that loose sediment has been compacted and cemented together to form a solid rock mass.
Organic sedimentary rock is derived mostly from the remains of organisms which have lithified into rock. Examples would be coal and chalk.
Clastic sedimentary rock.
the sediment is loosened
Sedimentary rock can be formed from lithified sediments.
No coral is NOT sediment. Coral SAND is a sediment but the coral itself is a living organism - if buried and lithified, the coral becomes a fossil.
The processes that cause sediment to be lithified into solid sedimentary rock are compaction and cementation. Compaction occurs when the weight of overlying sediment squeezes the grains together, reducing pore space. Cementation happens when minerals in pore spaces precipitate and bind the sediment grains together.
Lithified detritus forms sedimentary rocks known as clastic rocks. These rocks are composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks or minerals, which have been physically weathered and transported before being deposited and compacted into a solid rock. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.

Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
Some examples of sediment are dirt, sand, and rocks.
At this point they are none of the above. They are sediment. If lithified they will form sedimentary rock.
The sedimentary rock formed by burying, compacting, and cementing sediment is called "clastic sedimentary rock." Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate, which are composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks or minerals that have been lithified through the process of compaction and cementation.
