An iceberg is a large, massive piece of floating or stranded glacial ice that has broken from the front of a glacier into a body of water, with the greater part of its mass located below sea level. The term 'massive' indicates it is a single continuous piece rather than a group of chunks, and the requirement that its mass be below the water line means it is not merely a flat sheet of ice.

Welcome back to Krista's Rocks. It's time for another Wednesday word, and this week's word is iceberg.
A large massive piece of floating or stranded glacial ice of any shape broken from the front of a glacier into a body of water.
An iceberg has the greater part of its mass below sea level.
What does does it mean that it's both large and massive?
Being massive just means it's a single continuous piece instead of a group of chunks.
And the requirement that its mass be below the water line means it's not just a flat sheet that formed.
There you go.
