'Igneous' means from fire. Igneous rocks come from the molten interior of the Earth. Volcanic outpourings are the most obvious type of such a rock. Granites and their ilk are another type, except they cooled under the Earth for a long time, and have had sufficient time to crystallize. For each of the types of volcanic rock, there is an equivalent granite, with similar chemical composition.
