i am a rock is an example for sentences having the figure of speech called metaphor.In language, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin) is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects. In the simplest case, this takes the form: "The [first subject] is a [second subject]." More generally, a metaphor describes a first subject as being or equal to a second subject in some way.
the metaphor can be replaced by a simile.i am hard as a rock or i am stable as a rock
