It commonly has some form of layering to it, what is called a "foliation". If it is distinctly foliated it is called a schist, somewhat less foliated: a gneiss.
! Naming a metamorphic rock on sight is subjective, also naming (and translations) vary (e.g. terms used in Europe are sometimes different than those used in the United States, etc.).
For the correct terminology see: "Metamorphic Rocks : A classification and Glossary of Terms" Recommendations of the International Union of Geological Sciences, Subcomission on the Systematics of Metamorphic Rocks', (D. Fettes & J. Desmons, Editors), Cambridge University Press, 2007.

What rock type is a protolith of a metamorphic rock?
The protolith of a metamorphic rock can be any pre-existing rock type, such as shale, limestone, basalt, or granite. The type of metamorphic rock that forms from a protolith depends on factors like temperature, pressure, and the mineral composition of the protolith.

What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rock is formed through heat and pressure acting on existing rocks, causing them to recrystallize and change their mineral composition without melting. Examples include marble, slate, and schist.
