Heat and pressure from overlying rock layers (or heat from adjacent magma) causes the atoms of the original rock to ionize and recrystallize. Metamorphic rocks are more dense and structurally stable than the 'protolith' from which they are formed.
No.
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
the
Metamorphic rock structures are formed when rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature, often due to tectonic forces that cause deformation. Deformation can cause rocks to recrystallize, rearrange mineral structures, and develop foliation or lineation in metamorphic rocks. Therefore, the type and intensity of deformation can significantly influence the texture and structure of metamorphic rocks.
Heat and pressure transform rock to metamorphic rock.

Metamorphic rock displaying banding is referred to as foliated metamorphic rock.
