It has many layers.
Reason: Horizontal layers (stratification) are a primary feature of sedimentary rocks formed by successive deposition. Coarse grain size or rounded grains can occur in sedimentary rocks but are less definitive from the photo; a non-banded texture argues against metamorphism but doesn't by itself prove sedimentary origin.
