Because in most cases it is formed from an accumulation of layers of sediment. The layers are called strata.

Hey mate ,
hers your answer to your question :-)
The original rocks were broken due to the action of erosion by agents of gradation like flowing rivers , wind and sea beds or along valleys . These deposits or sediments gradually acculmulate in layers . These layers , in due course of time , were compressed and cemeted to form stratified rocks called sedimentary rocks . Sometimes fossils of plants and animals are found in sedimentary rocks .
:-) :-) Hope it help's you :-) :-)
