Foliated rocks are types of metamorphic rock that have parallel bands of grain. Non-foliated rocks are types of metamorphic rock that have no arrangement or bands of grain. Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that originates from limestone.

Answer:
Banding means that the rock consists of alternating, thin layers (typically 1 mm to 1 cm) of two different mineral compositions. Normally, the two types of layers have the same kinds of minerals, but in different proportions, giving the rock a striped appearance. Banding, by itself, defines a foliation.
