No, the rock does not explain anything in the sense you are suggesting.
Is it right to compare a rock as a nutcracker, with the dna in a cell? I don't believe it is.
My understanding of a 'machine' is of a multi part system that produces a desired effect. The rock is 'useful' for all kinds of things, but isn't my idea of a 'machine'.
