It doesn't really, except that some sedimentary rock can be pushed above sea-level by the movement of the plates. This is why various shell fossils etc. can be found in mountain ranges.
Plate Tectonics.
The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of Earth's plates, which can lead to subduction, where one plate is forced under another. This process causes sedimentary rocks, found on the ocean floor or continental margins, to be subjected to high temperatures and pressures as they are pushed into the mantle. If these rocks melt, they can form magma, which, when it rises to the surface and solidifies, becomes igneous rock. Thus, through the dynamics of plate tectonics, sedimentary rocks can transform into igneous rocks via melting and subsequent cooling.

Radiometric dating of igneous rocks that relate to the sedimentary rock
Earth's crust is largely covered with a thin layer of sedimentary rock, due to weathering and erosion and the process of lithification. The bulk of the oceanic and continental crust is composed of igneous and to a lesser extent, metamorphic rock. The rock cycle is largely due to the weather and to plate tectonics. Plate tectonics uplifts rock, exposing it to the weather, and also creates igneous crustal rock and the metamorphism of existing rock.

Plate tectonics play a crucial role in the rock cycle by driving the movement and recycling of Earth's crustal materials. Through processes like subduction and mountain-building, tectonic plate movements contribute to the formation of different types of rocks, such as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, which are essential stages in the rock cycle.

== == == Erosion and weathering of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks eventually leads to formation of more sedimentary rock. Additionally, huge areas of continents have been covered by inland seas at one time or another in geologic time creating vast amounts of sedimentary rock. Plate tectonics also plays a role in the thrusting upward of areas that once were ocean floor.
