No. Foliation is a word used to describe metamorphic rocks that have undergone deformation which has caused an alignment of their crystals. Foliated rocks often appear to have "bands" of minerals.
To find out more and to see a picture of a foliated rock - in this case a Gneiss, please see the related link.
What else can I help you with?
Limestone is the parent rock of the non foliated metamorphic rock called?
Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of rock.
Is a foliated rock easier to break then nonfoliated rock?
Non foliated rocks, such as marble, form from limestone, a common type of sedimentary rock. Foliated rocks form from metamorphic or igneous rocks. Non Foliated rocks are more brittle than foliated rocks making them more susceptible to breakage.
Can limestone turn into slate?
Yes, with enough pressure and heat, limestone can metamorphose into slate. This process involves the recrystallization of the minerals within the limestone, resulting in the formation of a fine-grained, foliated rock known as slate.
Is marble a folliated metamorphic rock?
Yes due to it being under pressure and heat. Metamorphic rock is rock that has been transformed chemically and/or physically due to extreme heat and pressure. Marble qualifies because it is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, typically dolomite and/or calcite (think limestone) that has been transformed by the heat and pressure present when it was deep in the crust
Which rock is an example of a non-foliated metamorphic rock?

Limestone is the parent rock of the non foliated metamorphic rock called?
Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of rock.
Is marble foliated or non foliated?
Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock, meaning it does not have visible layers or banding. It is formed from the recrystallization of limestone under high heat and pressure.
What type of rock is sandstonelimestonemarblegranite?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock as is limestone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock and granite is a felsic intrusive igneous rock.
How are slate and marble different?
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.
Is a foliated rock easier to break then nonfoliated rock?
Non foliated rocks, such as marble, form from limestone, a common type of sedimentary rock. Foliated rocks form from metamorphic or igneous rocks. Non Foliated rocks are more brittle than foliated rocks making them more susceptible to breakage.
Is slate a foliated of non foliated rock?
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
Is gneiss a foliated or a non foliated rock?
foliated
Can limestone turn into slate?
Yes, with enough pressure and heat, limestone can metamorphose into slate. This process involves the recrystallization of the minerals within the limestone, resulting in the formation of a fine-grained, foliated rock known as slate.
Is coquina foliated?
No, coquina is not foliated. Coquina is a sedimentary rock composed of loosely cemented fragments of shells and coral. Foliation typically occurs in metamorphic rocks, where minerals are aligned in layers or bands.
Is rocksalt foliated?
Rock salt is not foliated.
What rock type can be extrusive and intrusive?
The type of rock that can be foliated and/or non-foliated is the Igneous rock.
Can a foliated rock begin as an igneous rock?
Yes. A foliated metamorphic rock could have an igneous rock as a protolith.
