Which phrase provides the best definition of sedimentary rocks?

Sedimentary rocks commonly form when sediments—materials weathered or eroded from older rocks—are deposited, compacted, and cemented together. So “rocks that form from materials that existed in older rocks” is the best definition. Some sedimentary rocks form when a solution evaporates, but that describes only one type, not the broad definition.
