Yes, if an igneous rock is heated, it will re-melt and turn back into magma.

What does magma have to do with igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma.
Igneous rocks that form when magma cools on Earths's surface are called what igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks.
What is the definition of Igneous Rock?
Igneous rocks are those that have solidified from lava or magma.
What can magma do?
magma can make igneous rocks! igneous rocks are new rocks found in the earths crust formed around the plate boundaries. Magma from the mantle rises upwards towards the surface forming igneous rocks when it cools eg:-basalt ,granite
What kind of rock does magma form when it hardens?
If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock, such as pumice, basalt or rhyolite. If the magma cools inside the crust, it is called intrusive igneous rock, such as granite.
How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
What does magma have to do with igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma.
How do metamorphic rocks change into igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock
What is the change of state when magma crystallizes from igneous rock?
Your question as phrased is unclear. I will proceed to answer both interpretations I have of your question. Note: When magma crystallizes, it forms igneous rocks. 1) What is the change of state when magma forms from igneous rock? - Melting. Rocks are the solid state of matter and magma is the liquid state (although it can be a very viscous liquid). Changing something from solid to liquid is melting. 2) What is the change of state when magma crystallizes to form igneous rocks? - Solidification/Freezing. Magma becomes too cold to continue in a liquid state, it solidifies and crystallizes into solid igneous rocks: freezing.
What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
How is magma and igneous rocks related?
Magma is molten rock, and igneous rock is cooled magma.
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
Igneous rocks that form when magma cools on Earths's surface are called what igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks.
Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma?
Rocks formed from magma are igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks form from lava at or near the surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma below the surface.
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
What is the definition of Igneous Rock?
Igneous rocks are those that have solidified from lava or magma.
What type of rock can change into an igneous rock?
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
