Magma becomes lava after reaching a volcano's vent.

Volcanoes have a pocket beneath the surface called a magma chamber. The magma moves upward through a pipe, witch is a long tube that connects the magma chamber to the surface.

Molten rocks and gas through it's opening called a vent.

It's all written here in a text book called Prentice Hall Earth Science. This information is at page 210.
