Show the answer
A rock awash at the level of chart datum. A cross with a dot in each corner is a rock awash at chart datum: its top is level with chart datum, so it is just at the surface at the very lowest tides and covered whenever the tide is higher. A plain cross is a rock that stays underwater, and a star shape is a rock that covers and uncovers.
