None of the above. It is a simple crystal.

RE:
What kind of rock is salt? metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous?

salt is NaCl, a halite mineral that is precipitated when sea water dries up. salt domes are rock formations made up of halite minerals, much like stalactites or stalagmites formed by precipitation of CaCO3 or calcium carbonate. Salt domes are sedimentary rocks which are made up of halite minerals. so halite is not a rock, but a mineral. therefore, it's neither a sedimentary rock nor a metamorphic rock nor sedimentary rock.. :-)

Salt is a mineral, more commonly called Halite by geologists. Halite forms from the evaporation of water, and is known as an evaporite deposit. Evaporite deposits are considered sedimentary.

Halite is the mineral also known as salt however, salt can be considered a "chemical" sedimentary rock (i.e., it forms from chemical precipitation)

sedimentary it's a mineral it settles on the ground and gets layered is why salt is dug up from the ground.

Salt is a mineral, not a rock. As such, it does not fall into any of these categories.

I think it is Halite and if so that would be Metamorphic.

The word is EDIBLE. No such word as eatable.
