Absolutely not! They are actually harmful! Do not put rocks in the bottom of your containers for that actually causes moisture to be trapped between the rocks and the sides of the container, and it will not dry out like the soil above. Putting rocks in the bottom actually harms drainage and the stale stagnant water down there can go bad, causing bad bacteria to grow in that space, eventually leading to root rot. Soil has plenty of drainage ability all by itself... there is no need to try to add to it. It is the plant that actually uses all the water in your soil, not the drainage holes.
