Monolith

Uluru is often called the world's largest monolith

A monolith is a geological feature. It is a massive stone or rock.

Erosion usually causes the geological formations, which are often made of very hard and solid igneous or metamorphic rock.

In other words, a monolith is what's left after most of an original rock or mountain is worn away.
