No, small intrusive bodies are not called stocks; they are referred to as "stocks" in a geological context when discussing larger, more significant bodies of intrusive igneous rock. In geology, smaller intrusive bodies are typically called "dikes," "sills," or "plutons," depending on their shape and orientation. Stocks specifically refer to smaller plutons that are less than 100 square kilometers in area.
