∙ 14y agoRock is a name given to a natural earth material composed of an aggregation of clasts or crystals of differing minerals.
The word boulder is used to describe a piece of rock of a certain size. In this case a boulder is a clast of rock with a minimum diameter of 200mm (UK and European standards) and 256mm (US). Boulder is the largest individual clast sized recognised and is therefore given to any individual clast larger than the minimum diameter specified here.
