Interlocking
Close-packing is a term used to describe grains that fit tightly together with minimal space in between them. This arrangement maximizes the packing density of the grains.

Grains fit together in sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediment, such as sand, silt, and clay. These grains can be derived from the erosion of pre-existing rocks and are often cemented together by minerals precipitated from water. Common examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone. The arrangement and size of the grains can provide insights into the environment of deposition.

A million grains of sand is not very big at all. A million grains of sand can fit in a single small bucket.

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.
Snap fit means it is a product that can be put together without the use of any tools. It is designed to just snap together.
They all fit together like a puzzle.
