Yes. A comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid.

Can a comet or asteroid break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid?
Yes, comets and asteroids can break up due to various factors such as collisions or gravitational forces, leading to the formation of smaller rocks called meteoroids. These meteoroids can then enter the Earth's atmosphere and if they survive the fiery passage, they are known as meteors or shooting stars.
A chunk of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space is called?
A piece of an asteroid is still an asteroid, until you get down to pretty small pieces. At some point, when it's too small to see from far away, they are called "meteoroids" or just "space rocks". There isn't any formal hierarchy of sizes.

What is a chunk of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space?
A small piece of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space is called a meteoroid. When this meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction with air particles, it creates a streak of light called a meteor or shooting star.
What is a chunk of rock that is found between Mars and Jupiter called?
A chunk of rock found between Mars and Jupiter is called an asteroid. These rocky objects are leftovers from the early formation of the solar system and are primarily located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

A Meteoroid if the chunk is boulder sized or smaller, or just another Asteroid if it is house-sized or bigger.

How do you spell astroids?
The likely word is "asteroid" meaning a small chunk of rock or ice orbiting the Sun. The smaller rocks are also known as meteoroids, especially when they may hit another object, and meteors when they strike a planet, moon, or larger asteroid. The tiniest are called micrometeoroids. The largest asteroid, Ceres, is classified as a dwarf planet.The similar proper noun is Astrid, a female given name from Scandinavia.
Why are meteors different to asteroids?
An asteroid is a large chunk of rock and metals in outer space - they may have at one time been a fragment of a moon or planetoid, or formed as an accumulation of loose debris in space. Due to impacts with other bodies in space, smaller pieces can break off from the asteroid. These pieces are known as meteoroids while they are in outer space, meteors when they leave a visible streak of light as they pass through earth's atmosphere, and meteorites if they remain intact and hit the earth's surface.
