I believe the answer is true. Inorganic limestone deposits found in rocks prove that the rock was underwater for a long period of time. Caves form in limestone (calcium carbonate), and occasionally in dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate), when water containing dissolved carbon dioxide (carbonic acid) seeps into rock crevices and joints. Hope this answers the question.
