Why can’t we catapult rockets?

Well, I’ve always asked myself why can’t we use some kind of train or catapult to help the rockets to save fuel or to go further. Can anyone explain me why?

it’s difficult to justify building an entire other mechanism to launch the rocket when you can just make the fuel tank a bit bigger. compounded by the fact that rockets are actually remarkably efficient on their own.
