    it is formed by melting rock

    Explanation:

    Sedimentary rocks are not formed by rock melting and this will not even favor the preservation of life in such rock.

    Evidences of life in a body of rock is shown in form of fossils. They are the relics of life forms in a rock. Special conditions of formation of sedimentary rocks makes them fit for preserving diverse life forms.

    One of the unique condition is that they are not formed from melting of rocks. Rocks melts under very high temperature and pressure. Such extraneous temperatures will destroy any organic matter in a body of rock. This is why we can't find life forms preserved in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
