I depends 100% on what kind of rock you are referring to.
There are quite a few of them you know.

Inside a rock is whatever minerals it is composed of. It ranges from iron-rich olivine to silica-rich quartz crystals.
The rock has no "point", but it is the crust around the molten liquid aestehenosphere below. These bedrocks also get weathered into smaller pieces called sediment which is the main component of dirt, sand, and clay. Thus, rocks are great! Go Team Discovery Channel!

rock keeps us from falling to the center of the earth? Rock makes good walls for caves? The point is the sharp end that cavemen used to attach to sticks and stab things? Rock is good for defining the area of the campfire? Good for making a path from the sidewalk to the back door. Good cheap cover for a driveway. Helps make concrete better? I dunno.

If we carry your mode of thinking a step or two further, the point of the Earth is to be made out of rock.

More rock, unless it's a geode (check it out). There isn't any particular point in a rock; like many other things, they just are.
