Answer:

From mud and clay to diamonds and coal, Earth’s crust is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. The most abundant rocks in the crust are igneous, which are formed by the cooling of magma. Earth’s crust is rich in igneous rock s such as granite and basalt. Metamorphic rock s have undergone drastic changes due to heat and pressure.

Answer:
Minerals can be found not just in rocks but in food water and such other things. Plus a human being wouldn’t wanna eat a rock anyway lol!
