I'm afraid there's not much of interest here, not even for social media. As a starting point, look at work that's been accepted by other Stock contributors.
As a customer, would you buy this?

Phones are easy & convenient to use. But the results from a phone are seldom good enough for high quality commercial Stock photography. Enroll in some photography courses. You have much to learn about lighting & framing your subject to maximize visual impact.

These come across as you kind of described them. "Clicks" as you were taking a walk and pointing your phone at what ever caught your eye. You didn't explain the reason for rejection, but I suspect these have no commercial value. There are sharpening issues as well when viewed at 200%, when sharpening should still hold up when enlarged 2 times. They just come across as "snapshots," without any real thought to compsition or editing in post.

Commercial issues aside, just the click on one "auto" button in Camera Raw filter improves this image.

what tools can be used to improve the quality of pictures?

A) A real camera (though cell phone images if edited properly can be acceptable
B) Photoshop, to edit results taken with even the highest quality cameras
But I see nothing in these image that could be improved upon with editing. They look like snapshots, taken while you were driving, with little thought to composition, exposure, etc.

Good photography starts with the decisions you make while holding the camera, including f-stop, shutter speed, ISO and composition. Once you have mastered these basics you can improve upon the output from the camera with editing software. Most of us frequent contributors here in the forum use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I suggest that you take time to learn more about how to make good photographs before you consider submitting them to stock agencies.

Read the Adobe Stock help pages. Adobe isn't interested in unedited cell phone "clicks". Your images have exposure, focus and composition issues.

Hello,
Phone 'clicks' will most likely never be accepted on Adobe Stock. There is no thought put into these clicks.
So, where {what} are you lacking in these clicks?
Everything! 😊Composition, photo editing skills, the thought behind the shot.... the list can go on!
To get better, you need to read stuff about photography. Despite the ease of 'clicking', photography is not about clicking a phone at something - unless it is just a 'holiday snap' to share on social media.

The quality of your phone clicks are not high enough:
There is no structure and no contrast in this image. Phones are for sunshine pictures. You need optimal light situations, low in camera processing and editing knowledge to get those through.

If you like the courses, you can start saving for a new or used DSLR camera & lenses.
