The fore will be acting towards the ground.

Explanation:

Assuming that the rock is under free fall, so the acceleration due to the gravity will be the only acceleration it has.
Lets say the mass of the rock is #m#. Due to gravity the acceleration of it is #g# in the downward direction.

The force acting on the ground would be of magnitude #m*g# and the direction would be towards the ground.
