    In geology, a protolith refers to the original rock from which a metamorphic rock is formed. It represents the parent rock that undergoes changes in mineralogy, texture, and structure during the process of metamorphism. The protolith can be any type of rock, such as sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock, and the specific characteristics of the protolith influence the resulting metamorphic rock.
