The answer is Yes and No. Yes, because an ocean is made of many small drops. No, because building up an ocean with water drops is like adding small numbers like 1 to make infinity.
But the fact remains that an ocean comes into being only by accumulation of water and not at one stroke.
Creating an ocean is a monumental task. The task may look formidable and even impossible.
If you are asked to create an ocean, you may feel overwhelmed by the enormousness of the task and may decide to give up even without trying.
But if you start working on the task with whatever quantity of water you can accumulate at the beginning, you will soon find the ocean beginning to develop into its full form.

Recall the well known saying of Confucius:
