Rocks are composed of domains of covalently (strong) bonded oxidized lattices of inorganic atoms.
You are composed of clusters of dipole (weak) bonded chains of organic molecules/atoms.
The strong lattice bonding limits the flexibility and environmental reactivity of rocks. This limits observable mechanical reaction, but increases the chemical lifetime of rocks (relative to organics).
The weak dipole bonds between organic chains allows them to mechanically react strongly based on environmental conditions (chemical makeup of fuel, electric current, etc.). This also reduces the chemical lifetime or organic materials (relative to inorganic).
As such, organic materials can twist, shift, shrink, etc. but require constant chemical reactivity to fuel, trigger, and replace them (breathing and eating).

"Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate by the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony!"
