It's about 26 kilometers at its widest, so it's very small. It's oddly shaped, and the very small amount of gravity can vary. It is only about 6 or 7 miles above Mars, and orbits it very fast.
It may be very porous, and may have frozen water in it. There may be possible uses for it as an observatory or way station.
It's escape velocity is about 24 miles per hour, so while you could probably not run off of it, you could probably bicycle yourself into orbit with an appropriate ramp!

Is mars moon Phobos made of rock.?
The largest moon of mars is Phobos; Phobos is believed to be composed of carbon-rich rock like that found in C-type asteroids that exist in the outer asteroid belt.
What gases are in the atmosphere of Phobos?
Phobos, one of the moons of Mars, has an extremely thin atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide (CO2) and some traces of other gases like nitrogen and argon. However, the atmosphere on Phobos is so sparse that it is considered essentially a vacuum.
Is there oxygen on the moon Phobos?
Phobos has little if any atmosphere; like Mars, we would assume that if any oxygen was present, it could only be measured in parts per million.
