Answer:

The answer is sedimentary rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the same time the particles of sediment begin to stick to each other - they are cemented together by clay, or by minerals like silica or calcite. After compaction and cementation, the sedimentary sequence has changed into a sedimentary rock.

Hope that it helps!
