It doesn't. The grain size effects the texture. If a rock has a small grain size, it will have a smooth texture. If the grain size is large, such as pebbles, the texture will be rough. For example, siltstone is one of the smoothest rocks because it contains silt particles, which are .0004cm to .006cm. Conglomerate though contains various particles including cobbles and boulders, which are from 10cm to 100cm.
