It can be buried, and huge pressures and temperatures can change them into metamorphic rocks.
A metamorphic rock.
No, mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the compression and cementation of fine-grained mud and silt particles. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of pre-existing rocks due to high pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.
Phyllite is a type of metamorphic rock, not a mineral. It is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone and has a fine-grained texture with a silky sheen due to the alignment of its minerals.
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Slate,schist,gneiss are the metamorphic rock formed from mudstone.

The nickname for metamorphic rock is "a changed rock".
Any rock, be it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic, can be changed into a metamorphic rock through increased pressure and/or temperature.
Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.
metamorphic rock
Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
Phyllite is a type of metamorphic rock, not a mineral. It is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone and has a fine-grained texture with a silky sheen due to the alignment of its minerals.
