It aids in the identification process, based on chemistry.
A rock is made of minerals, which are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. These minerals are the building blocks of rocks and determine their color, texture, and hardness.
The minerals in a rock determine its physical properties such as hardness, color, and texture. They also influence the rock's chemical composition and how it forms. Different minerals give rocks their unique characteristics and can help geologists identify and classify them.

I believe you are looking for the word "metamorphism".
A rock is not a mineral however a rock is made of several minerals
minerals inside the rock determine the rocks composition
No it is not. Sedimentary rocks are made of minerals.
The minerals that make up a rock determine how fast it weathers to a large extent. This is mainly true when it comes to chemical weathering.
