Grains are the particles that make up a rock and may consist of eroded particles of various sizes of other rocks or mineral crystals.
Tiny rocks the size of salt grains are generally called, "Sand".
Lava rocks typically have fine to medium-sized grains due to their rapid cooling process when formed from molten lava. Large grains are less common in lava rocks than in other types of igneous rocks that cool more slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
Conglomerate and sandstone are rocks made from rounded grains. Conglomerate consists of larger, rounded gravel-sized particles cemented together, while sandstone is composed of smaller, rounded sand-sized grains cemented together.
Rough-textured rocks have distinct grains that are visible to the naked eye. These grains are typically made up of mineral crystals or fragments that give the rock its rough texture. The size, shape, and arrangement of grains can provide important clues about the rock's formation and history.
Interlocking grains refer to the irregular and intertwined growth patterns of mineral grains in a rock. This texture indicates a strong bond between the grains and can enhance the overall strength and durability of the rock. Interlocking grains are commonly found in metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and marble.
Yes m that it true, other than glasses all rocks have grains.
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, while grains are small, individual particles of a mineral. Rocks can be made up of different types of minerals and have a variety of sizes and shapes, while grains are typically uniform in composition and size. Rocks are larger and can be made up of multiple grains, whereas grains are individual, tiny fragments.

Older rocks.
large grains
because sand was once rocks and the rocks got smashed to tiny grains of sand

No.

Sedimentary rocks tend to erode easily compared to other types of rocks as the grains within them are farther apart than the "grains" in, let's say, igneous rocks. As a result of this, the "grains" can be easily crumble. An example of this is sand.

A rock formed from grains stuck together would be Porous
