Rocks tell stories. The conditions under which they were formed and the environment which they encountered since being formed leave markers in different types of rocks that let geologists reconstruct the history of the planet as clearly as if it were written by a human.
Note, your question may be referring to Linaeus' failed attempts to classify rocks with a binomial nomenclature in the same way he classified living organisms. His attempts failed because rocks can change in drastic ways and have characteritics of many distinct varieties in one specimen. Organisms, however, evolve and speciate in a bifurcating manner over time, which lends itself nicely to his classification system (Kingdom, phlylum, class, order, family, genus, species)
