Answer : Sedimentary rocks

Explanation : Sedimentary rocks are those rocks which contains large, jagged pieces of other rocks, which are cemented by fine particles.

These rocks are basically the rocks that are mainly formed from sediments, which are deposited over time, and often show layers which can be seen in cliffs. The sediments are usually formed from the matter that falls to the bottom of oceans and lakes. There are three main types of sedimentary rocks; Clastic, Chemical, and Organic.
