Asteroids are too small to be recognized as planets, and their rotation may vary depending on the orbit or the belt that they are included in. Asteroids are irregular shaped, which comes in different variety and different sizes. As we all know planets follow a round shape, and some have rings around them, not unlike asteroids. Hence, despite the difference in composition, asteroids are called planetoids, or minor planets since they are also fragments of creation that occurred billions of years ago.
Final answer:
True
