Rocks cannot freeze.There molecular structure doesnt have an adaption to weather.

AnswerTechnically, rocks cannot freeze. There molecular structure doesn't adapt to weather, except by expansion and contraction. However, moisture inside the molecules of rocks can freeze. This causes even greater expansion and contraction within the rocks' structure, which can result in the rock cracking and even breaking apart, eventually. The scientific term for this effect is known as "weathering", and is highly common among rocky structures in cold and even temperate climates.

though most material to be put in the freezer at home and re exposed the room temp.

Why is a rock at room temperature considered frozen at room temperature?

If you were in a room at a temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, water would be frozen into a solid called ice. Rock just happens to have a much, much higher melting point than water, so at "room temperature" (around 25 degrees Celsius) rocks are in a solid or 'frozen' form.
