Is a meteoroid made of ice rock and frozen gases?

That sounds more like a comet. Meteroids are relatively small rocks. They might have traces of ice or other frozen materials that would be gas at our temperature, but mostly they are just rock, because ice in such small quantities would tend to bleed away into space. Asteroids are much larger, and may often have ice and frozen "gases", but only as a relatively small part of their volume. Comets, on the other hand, are generally ice and frozen gases, with some rock mixed in.
