That kind of rock is called Igneous rock.
The other kids of rocks is Sedimentary rock formed by sediments of for example plants and Shellfish.
The third type is formed from interaction between different rocks or other transformations most often under high pressure and temperature, it is called Metamorphic rock.

Intrusive igneous rock is cooled and solidified above ground?
No, it is Extrusive. Hope it help.
What is a intrusive volcano?
Intrusive is a geologic term used to describe igneous rock that has solidified from magma underground. Extrusive igneous rock refers to rock that has solidified from lava above ground.
Why is no dew formed on a windy day or when sky is cloudy?
Dew forms when the air just above the ground is cooled to its dew point (a temperature at which the water dissolved in the air comes out of the air). The air above the ground is cooled because the ground radiates heat into space. If there are clouds overhead the clouds reflect the heat back to the ground so it does not cool and o dew forms. If it is windy then the air just above the ground keeps on getting mixed with the air higher up and the air does not cooled to the dew point and no dew forms. Thus to form dew you need a still clear night.
What is the above ground portion of a plant called?
the above portion of the earth is called the earth's crust
What do you call an above ground mass of hyphae is called?
mycellium
Intrusive igneous rock is cooled and solidified above ground?
No, it is Extrusive. Hope it help.
Is igneous rock that cooled above ground larger then being cooled under ground?
no
Does igneous rocks mean fire rocks?
Sort of. An igneous rock is one that started as molten magma and then cooled and solidified either above, on, or below the surface.
What is a intrusive volcano?
Intrusive is a geologic term used to describe igneous rock that has solidified from magma underground. Extrusive igneous rock refers to rock that has solidified from lava above ground.
A molten rock starting with l?
A molten rock that has cooled is an Igneous rock. To my knowledge there is not a specific igneous rock that starts with L. However molten rock above ground is called lava.

How can you tell the difference between an igneous rock that formed above ground and one that formed below?
Usually, the determining factor is the size of the mineral crystals in the rock. Igneous rocks that have solidified above ground cool quickly and have less time for larger crystals to grow.
What is the liquid called above ground?
groundwater
What is the above ground portion of a plant called?
the above portion of the earth is called the earth's crust
How does air above a cooled surface move?
Air above a cold or cooled surface contracts and falls.
What is molten rock above ground called?
lava
What magma is called after it erupts above ground?
Lava
