Can a metamorphic rock mix up with a sedimentary rock? What would it form?

Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other rocks and minerals. A metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock if the rock is broken apart through wind and flowing water and becomes sediment. The sediment can then be compacted or cemented into a sedimentary rock.
