The value that is the same for the two rocks is the time it takes for the rocks to fall.

In the absence of air resistance, both rocks will fall to the ground in the same amount of time regardless of their mass. However, air resistance may affect their fall, but if we consider the scenario ideally without significant air resistance, the time to fall is the same.
