Mudstone is the fine grained sedimentary rock that were clays or muds originally.
Mudstone: a crumbly sedimentary rock which is a step below shale in compactness.
Siltstone is a sedimentary rock made up of detrital sediment grains.
Mudstone is a fine grained sedimentary rock. Got info from wikipedia.org.

No, it is sedimentary
Yes.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
It can be buried, and huge pressures and temperatures can change them into metamorphic rocks.

Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.

Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.
Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is created by the alteration of shale or mudstone by low-grade regional metamorphism. It is popular for a wide variety of uses such as roofing, flooring and flagging because of its durability and attractive appearance.
