Rocks are made of minerals, which are naturally occurring, solid, inorganic substances with a defined chemical composition and a characteristic crystalline structure. These minerals are formed through various geological processes, such as crystallization from magma or lava, precipitation from water solutions, or transformation of other minerals.
Here's a simple breakdown:
* Living organisms: Made of cells.
* Rocks: Made of minerals.
So, while rocks are fascinating and complex, they are not alive and don't contain cells.
