Diatomite is a sedimentary rock. It is formed from the accumulation of diatoms, which are microscopic algae with silica-based cell walls. Over time, these accumulated remains undergo lithification, resulting in diatomaceous earth, primarily composed of silica. This unique composition and formation process classify diatomite as a sedimentary material.
