Sediments
Weathering
The cementing material could be calcite, clay minerals, iron minerals, or quartz in a clastic sedimentary rock.
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains become larger. The increase in size of mineral grains strains the rock material and weakens it.
Sand is a solid due to its molecular arrangement.
A Rock!. Igneous rocks
Lithification.
Loose rock material is called detritus.

Sedimentary rock, though that category also includes rocks formed when a cementing material precipitates out of groundwater between the grains.
