Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are differentin their method of formation. Igneous rocks solidify from melt, sedimentary rocks form from the lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from the application of heat and/or pressure over time. These rocks are alike in some ways, too, however. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks can share compositions -- they can be composed of cominations of biotite, calcite, quartz or other minerals. Their origin can also be shared. For example, a composite volcano has all three types: a sedimentary rock formed from welded pyroclastics, called welded volcanic tuff, piles up on the slopes. Lava solidifies on the slopes as well, forming igneous rocks. Inside the volcano, solid rock is exposed to heat but doesn't melt. This rock is transformed into metamorphic rock.
igneous rocks mix with metamorphic rocks and they combine together to make a sedimentary rock. the three themes of science rocks are metamorphic,igneous, and sedimentary.

There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)

Talc is a mineral and is not classified as metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous as are rocks.

Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
