Lithification of a sedimentary rock includes the processes of compaction and cementation. Compaction occurs when sediments are compressed under the weight of overlying materials, reducing pore space and expelling water. Cementation involves the precipitation of minerals from groundwater, which fill the spaces between sediment grains and bind them together. Together, these processes transform loose sediments into solid rock.
lithification
Fragmentation clastic sedimentary rock is formed by the lithification of inorganic and/or organic sediments.

Is produced, transport, deposited and lithified the process of sedimentary rock
A rock made of layers that are cemented together is called sedimentary rock. It forms when sediments like sand, clay, or organic material are compacted and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
