Not all rocks are jagged. However the evolution of the river is continuous and 'rocks' are being broken-off all the time by the water, erosion, weather etc. Of course as 'rocks' are moved along by the force of the water that can make them 'jagged'.

Most rocks are very hard and brittle. When they break they shatter. Rocks that are found along the shore line of the ocean and rocks that are found in river bottoms are very smooth. The water, sand and dirt that constantly flows over them polishes them removing all rough edges.
