If you have all the pieces for a clock sitting on a table, is that a clock? Or does it have to be put together first?

Nope, it is pieces of a clock. Once assembled it is a clock.

You could ask similarly of any machine.

Dissassembled it is a set of components, each meaningless on its own.

Put them all together in the correct way, then they collectively become the machine.

Dismantle it again and the components revert to being just... components.

A Very existential question.
