They eat the acid in rocks

The correct answer is - They secrete acid that breaks away rocks

Explanation:

By breaking the rocks it forms the ground for the plant that will come later in place of the bare rocks by this chemical weathering process. An example of chemical weather is a change of the granite to clay with the help of hydrolysis.
