Lava is, by preferred definition, a viscous fluid comprised of molten rock that has reached the surface. In this case, lava is not an igneous rock. However, 'lava' can also refer to the cooled and solidified product of the molten rock. In this case, lava is an igneous rock, formed from the solidification of molten lava.

∙ 9y agoAll volcanic rocks are igneous, but not all igneous rocks are volcanic. Volcanic rocks are igneous rocks that cool at or above the surface. Such rocks are extrusive. Some igneous rocks cool underground and are termed intrusive or plutonic.
