Serpentine is itself a category of Minerals. Minerals are not Rocks in that Minerals are homogenous (one substance) whereas Rocks are heterogenous (many substances). All Rocks contain Minerals in a fixed proportion.
Serpentinite is a Metamorphic Rock made of Serpentine-Group Minerals pressed together at the bottom of the sea-floor and heated by magma. In order to be an Igneous Rock, a Rock has to itself be a form of crystallized magma, not merely heated by magma.
