no, it's a sedimentery rock.
Quartz sandstone, aka arenite, can form the metamorphic rock called quartzite.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The process involves heat and pressure altering the sandstone's mineral composition, causing quartz grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in a harder, more durable rock. Quartzite is known for its smooth texture, high resistance to weathering, and distinctive white color.
The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.

It doesn't. Granite is an igneous rock, not metamorphic. However, quartzite is metamorphic and is made from sandstone.

Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
Sand forms sedimentary rocks such as sandstone. Sandstone containing mostly quartz can form the metamorphic rock quartzite.
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.
Quartzite, a non banded metamorphic rock.
