As cold-blooded animals, lizards cannot produce their own body heat, so they need to obtain it from their environment. Rocks hold in heat much better than air, so lizards often lie on them to warm themselves.

Lizards need heat to survive as they are cold blooded. Rocks trap the heat from the sun and hold that heat long into the cool nights so the lizards sit on/under them to stay warm
