Three characteristics of a rock's grain include size (fine, medium, coarse), shape (angular, rounded), and sorting (well-sorted, poorly sorted). These characteristics can provide information about the rock's origin and history.
What rock has the finest grain size?
The rock with the finest grain size is typically shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock composed of clay particles that are less than 1/256 millimeter in diameter, giving it a very fine texture. This fine grain size allows shale to split easily into thin layers, which is a characteristic feature of the rock.

Does grain size mean anything when identifying igneous rocks?
yes, it does. when a grain size in an igneous rock is small, it means that it was probably an extrusive rock, meaning it formed on land. but if the grain size is big, it means that the rock most likely formed underground, or it was intrusive. try remembering it like this- the larger the crystals, the more time the rock had to form, and magma cools faster on land, not giving the rocks much time to form.
