Magma is defined to be a liquid inside the Earth, so the answer is no. When it comes out, it is called lava, but it's still liquid. When it cools to a solid, it can be any of several different things, depending on how fast it cools, what it is made of, and how much it moves while cooling, how much gas is in it, etc. It goes from pumice to schist, but my favorite is the one Hawai'ians call aa.
