Rocks contain silicon dioxide and are a compound
Above is true. But if the type of rock is igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic then it can contain minerals, other rock fragments, and magma.

How are rock pools formed?
As the tide recedes, not all of the coast is left behind dry. Depending on the type of rock, one can find shallow or deep rock pools. They offer better survival chances for animals and plants that need to be submerged all the time. Because each rock pool is different, they invite different communities. Deep rock pools near the low tide, have few survival problems, whereas shallow rock pools near the high tide, have many. Thus the pool's placing on the shore as well as its depth and size are important factors. Deep rock pools provide shelter from waves, allowing fragile organisms to live on an otherwise exposed rocky shore. Fragile animals are: sea slugs, shrimps, camouflage crabs, sea eggs, small fishes. Fragile sea weeds are: neptune's necklace, pillow weed, cystophora, sea lettuce and many others. For the snails that are able to survive in between high and low tide (periwinkle, nerita, melagraphia, cats eye) a rock pool is not necessarily a better place because their predators are found there (dark rock shell, white rock shell, trumpet shell). Large fish and octopus may find the rock pools too small, lacking oxygen for breathing. Rock pools may collect fresh water during rain storms, which is worse for shallow rock pools high up the shore where organisms must wait longer for the tide to return. Therefore, most rock pools are at the intertidal and backshore area.

What are the fish at the top of Ayers Rock in Australia?
Uluru / Ayers Rock is a rock, and only in the times after rain, when the numerous pools atop Uluru can hold water, do tiny fish and also some crustaceans appear.There is a tiny fish known as the killifish. It has a very short life, and its eggs, which remain dormant in the surface dirt and mud, are hydrated by the rock pools that appear after rain. When the pools dry up, the adult fish die, but they have already completed an entire life cycle, with newly laid eggs safe in their mud coating. The adult fish leave them with enough nutriment to give them a good start when the next rains fall.In addition, tiny crustaceans hatch from their eggs, then reproduce to lay more eggs. These are of the species fairy or brine shrimp (Anostraca), shield or tadpole shrimp(Notostraca) and clam shrimp (Conchostraca). When the water evaporates, the eggs lie dormant until the next rains.
