Sedimentary rocks are formed by cementation and compaction. This happens when sediment particles are compressed and fused together over very long periods of time.

Your answer will be sedimentary rocks because there are formed when a rock gets a lot of pressure against other rocks then they compact together forming a sedimentary rock. Also its not Igneous rocks because they are formed when lava flows it cools then gets pressure making a igneous rock remember that sedimentary rocks are like mountains most of their rock was compacted together with heat and pressure making a sedimentary rock and igneous rock is when lava hardens then pressed with a lot of heat and pressure forming a igneous rock.                                                                                                                                           Your answer is sedimentary rock.

Answer:
igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.
Explanation:
Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:
- igneous rock
- sedimentary rocks and
- metamorphic rocks.
Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:
- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.
- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.
Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps
