Asteroids ("star like things") better name Planetoids ("planet like things"). Bits of the rocky parts of the early Solar System that didn't get to form into one planet, presumably due to the perturbations of Jupiter's gravity. They lie in a harmonic zone where a planet should be, but the largest of them, Ceres, is only about the size of Texas.

One of many rocks in a belt between mars and Jupiter?
It is called an asteroid.
What is the term for the rocky bodies that orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids are rocky bodies that orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter.
What is the gap called between mars and Jupiter?
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.
Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?
Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.
