Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.
Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of 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.
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
The type of rock that can be foliated and/or non-foliated is the Igneous rock.

Foliated rock
The Process. Both foliated and nonfoliated rocks begin their lives as either sedimentary, igneous or another metamorphic rock. Type of Pressure. If the pressure applied to the recrystallizing rock is unequal, then a foliated rock will form.

Foliated rock has parallel layers.
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.

Scoria is a type of igneous rock that is non-foliated. It forms from rapidly cooling lava and does not exhibit the layers or bands that would be characteristic of foliated rocks.
