Final answer:

Cementation is the crucial stage of sedimentary rock formation where minerals crystallize to bind sediments together.


Explanation:

Cementation is the stage of sedimentary rock formation where minerals crystallize at points of contact with other clasts. As sediments become compacted, water is squeezed out of the pore spaces, and minerals precipitate into those spaces, acting as a glue that cements the sediment together. Common minerals involved in this process include calcite, quartz, and pyrite.
