Probably cyanobacteria like those that form stromatolites.
Over a very long period of time , a series of organisms live and die on the rock.As the organisms live and die, the rock is slowly transformed into soil.

A biogenic rock is a rock made from the remains of living organisms, which collected during sedimentation.
No, although a rock could contain the remains of some organisms. Coal, for instance.

No live organisms have cells, a rock does not.
neva
iron oxides in rock
the squamish live in Canada next to a rock
organisms in fresh water had to adapt. they first lived in the oceans.
no. it is the other way around. living organisms are important to the rock cycle.
Some "extremophiles" obtain their energy from chemicals. These are bacteria that live round thermal vents (in the sea and volcanoes), and that live in solid rock.
