Because metamorphic rocks formed due to high pressure and temp. So foliated str is generally formed in metamorphic rocks.

Except for marble and quartzite only.
All general metamorphic rocks are foliated rocks.

Foliation in geology refers to repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks. Each layer can be as thin as a sheet of paper, or over a meter in thickness. The word comes from the Latin folium, meaning "leaf", and refers to the sheet-like planar structure.
