Igneous rocks that cool quickly beneath earth's crust are known as intrusive rocks. These rocks will form from magma which will cool and solidify quickly.

Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.

Igneous rocks formed at the Earth's surface are called extrusive igneous rocks. They form when magma cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained or glassy textures. Examples include basalt and rhyolite.
This type of igneous rock is called "extrusive igneous rock." It forms when lava cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in small mineral grains that are characteristic of rocks like basalt or rhyolite.
Intrusive igneous rocks
The rock that cools below the Earth's surface is called "intrusive igneous rock." This type of rock forms when magma cools and solidifies slowly beneath the Earth's crust, allowing for the development of larger crystals. Common examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite. In contrast, extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface.
Magma cooling beneath the surface creates intrusive igneous rocks.
it is called magma.
