yes this statement is true
as we know that
A metamorphic rock is a result of a transformation of a pre-existing rock. The original rock is subjected to very high heat and pressure, which cause obvious physical and/or chemical changes. Examples of these rock types include marble, slate, gneiss, schist.

The statement is true.
It is due to the fact of iron diffusion which leads to the metamorphic and crystalline rocks resulting in the reddish colour of the soil.
This kind of soil is actually found in certain parts of the western ghats along with parts of Chattisgarh and Orissa.
It turns yellow in colour when it is hydrated.
