Answer

Metamorphic rock is changed into igneous rock by melting followed by cooling and solidification

Explanation

Igneous rocks are formed when the magma undergoes cooling and form crystals. Magma is a very hot liquid formed by melted minerals. When metamorphic rocks are exposed to intense heat and pressure, they undergo melting to form magma which with further cooling form igneous rocks.
