Composition: the nature of something’s ingredients or constituents; the way in which a whole or mixture is made up

Texture: the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or substance

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock (the two are obviously related). Texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock.
