Unfortunately, the definition of a planet does not include it's composition.

So Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are classed as terrestrial planets - made up of rock, whereas Jupiter and Saturn's are classed as Gas Giants - not surprisingly, as they are comprised of mainly gases - hydrogen and helium, whereas Uranus and Neptune are classed as ice giants - yep, you've guessed it.

..and that is the planets in our Solar System, outside, most exoplanets are gas giants.

So all planets are not terrestrial.
