No they don't but eventually the ground subsides as a result of freeze and thaw cycles and the stones that were under the surface work their way up to the surface. That makes it appear they are sprouting and showing up new.

I'm with "Rich" on this one, I've been picking rock on the same fields here in the Dakotas for the last fifty years. Every spring , new rocks sprout like mushrooms after the ground thaws. RScott

actually, they shrink. erosion of the surface by water, chemical action (acid/alkaline) and freeze-thaw cycles can all gradually- and I mean VERY gradually- make a stone grow smaller, converting it from a stone to sand, silt or clay.
mineral soil is actually degraded rock particles.

No, stones break down and decay, they are inanimate.

No I think they reached the age were you start shrinking...
