Are rocks alive ?

Hello!

Question for biology people from an absolut ignorant

I am french. I am also a student in philosophy. I am going to ask you a bunch of stuff.

Could it be possible that rocks have some form of life that we can't detect? For context, I've just finished reading a bunch of stuff on the "earliest known life forms" and on how microorganisms might have consciousness. Could be, like we can't see and hear some frequencies, we are also unable to detect some form of life in rocks ? And, Ive read some articles on how the Earth has a pulse : why ? and is this not big news ? Could it be that rocks or earth have are actually a really weird inapprehensible form of life

Anyways, I would like to specify that im using the term "life" in a very loose sense : not having a brain doesnt mean that a tree or a bacteria are not alive. Was just thinking about this and wanted to have some facts and responses thrown at me by you guys. Sorry if it is against your r/ rules im just curious :)

Edit : oh for real they are not alive ? Prove it then Why do the earth has a pulse whyyy

Edit 2 : Geez you guys are no fun aha
