Siltstone is a sedimentary rock, not an igneous one. It is composed primarily of silt-sized particles, which are finer than sand but coarser than clay. Siltstone typically forms from the compaction and cementation of silt particles, often in quiet water environments like lakes or floodplains. It is classified as a clastic sedimentary rock due to its composition and formation process.
