Begin...! It has always been on, its a contineous process, it doesnt realy stops or begins but just recycles; From, magma - igneous rocks - weathering - erosion - transportation - deposition - accumulation - stratification - cementation - lithification - sedimentary rocks - heating - pressure - stress - deformation - metamorphism - metamorphic rocks - melting - recrystalization - magma, back to igneous rocks. And on and on it goes, repeating just the same process over and over again.

Where does the rock cycle begin and end?

In the rock cycle the process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock must begin with?

The process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle begins with weathering and erosion of the igneous rock, breaking it down into sediments. These sediments are then transported and deposited, where they are compacted and cemented together to form a sedimentary rock over time.
