yes
The Apollo 11 mission brought back samples of moon rocks and soil. These samples were collected by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during their historic lunar landing.
No, the moon is not made of metamorphic rock. The moon's geology consists mainly of igneous rocks like basalt and anorthosite, as well as some breccias and regolith (lunar soil). Metamorphic rocks result from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which is not typical of the moon's composition.
The special name for moon rock is "lunar rock" or "lunar regolith." It refers to the rocks, dust, and soil collected from the surface of the moon by spacecraft missions.
yes the moon does have rocks... duhhh
From ExtremeScience.com: "Scientists estimate that about 50% of the moon's surface composition is oxygen, bound up in silicate minerals!" Even with extensive study, there have been no reports of diamonds or crystals in moon soil. Read more, below.
Maybe to prove he went to the moon and they can compare the soil from the moon and soil that is in earth. Same for the rocks comparing them.

No. The moon is atmosphere-less, and the rocks there would not smell. But when moon rocks and soil are taken into a normal air environment, they do emit an odor that the astronauts likened to wet ashes or burnt fireworks.
Moon rocks
Moon rocks are samples of rock and soil collected from the surface of the moon during various Apollo missions. They consist mainly of basaltic rock, which is formed from cooling lava. They also contain minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase feldspar, along with traces of other elements like titanium and iron.
