Answer -

Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments because of the following reasons:
  1. Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks, decompose, disintegrate and wear down due to weathering.
  2. This material is carried away by running water (rivers), wind, glacier.
  3. The material is then deposited in low lying areas and is called sediments.
  4. When sediments are solidified into layers due to pressure from overlying sediments they are called sedimentary rocks.
