They don't grow or live on all rocks. The only time that mosses will grow on rocks is if those rocks are wet with moisture all the time. If they (the rocks) are not wet with moisture all the time, moss will not grow on them. Moss also grows on the north-side of trees, since that is the wettest part of the trees, and because the sun does not get at the north-side of the trees, thus being unable to dry that moist area up.

Moss can grow on rocks in dry areas because it is highly adaptable and can survive in harsh conditions. It requires minimal water and can absorb moisture directly from the air or rain when available.

Additionally, moss can establish itself in crevices, where it can retain moisture and nutrients, allowing it to persist even in dry conditions.
