metals are malleable

Clay is actually a description of sediment of a specific particle size. As such clay is not necessarily a rock. However when compacted and cemented clay forms claystone which is a sedimentary rock.
It depends on the moisture content. It can be hard, chalky and crumbly. It can be heavy and slightly slimy and very malleable if wet.
Limestone would be potentially harder until the clay is fired. The problem we have here is that "clay" is an ambiguous term. There is no homogenous or standard formula for clay. However, clays can generally be formed and baked to become set and hard. This is called firing. Fired clay tends to be quite hard, and depending on the formula, might be harder than limestone.
It depends what kind of clay you get. Some clay can be put in the oven and baked and other kinds can't. If you need an inflammable clay, go to Michael's or another craft supply store and ask them for clay you can cook. Just make sure you don't eat it! :)
Yes, but it depends on the type of clay, the type of glaze, and how high the temperature under which it has been fired. Usually, the higher the temperature, the more vitreous the final product will become, due to the chemical change it undergoes at higher temperatures.
Unbaked clay is much heavier than when it is fired to maturity since it contains a large amount of water, which is driven out by the firing process
Unbaked Clay refers to clay that has not yet been fired or say baked in the kiln. Unbaked clay is also know has green ware a state at which is is more flexible or say elastic and can be changed to another form. Just from the terms Un-meaning not, and Baked meaning Burned or "Oven burn" though in ceramics kilns are used instead of the ovens. so it means not-fired clay.

"This clay is very malleable."
Yes, it is true.
Clay is made of clay ...
No, baked clay can't be recycled because it becomes very hard when baked, and it is very brittle to recycle it after.
Clay, silly putty.
Crockery is made from baked, usually glazed, clay. Utensils are made from wood, metal and plastic.
you can't eat clay because its bad for you but if it's baked clay then you can drink from it
