Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Igneous rock may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks.

Rocks form at moderate depth - hypabyssal eg. Dolerite.
At top of earth surface - volcanic eg. Basalt.

The rocks made from the cooling and solidifying of molten rock (magma) are called igneous rocks and the two categories of igneous rocks - volcanic and plutonic rocks. Volcanic rocks found on earth surface whereas plutonic rocks found at considerable depth from earth's surface.
