Very obviously. Enceladus is covered in water ice and has an atmosphere of ionized water vapor. If it has an ocean beneath the ice, it may well be the best location to find life in the solar system away from earth. Europa gets much more intense radiation from Jupiter than does Enceladus.

Covered in "water ice"?
What flavor?

The first forms of colony life on earth were formations like toadstools. Could the boulders be concretions made by lifeforms--bacteria?
