Two types of igneous rocks are intrusive igneous rocks, which form from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, and extrusive igneous rocks, which form from lava that cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface.
Two of the most common fates of igneous rocks are to become sediment (and later sedimentary rocks) or to become metamorphic rocks.
Basalt and rhyolite are examples of fine-grained igneous rocks.

igneous rocks
There are two main types of igneous rocks: intrusive (plutonic) rocks which form beneath the Earth's surface through slow cooling of magma, and extrusive (volcanic) rocks which form on or above the Earth's surface through rapid cooling of lava. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite, while examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.

Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
The lithosphere is primarily made up of two types of rocks: igneous and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma, while metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone a change in texture and composition due to heat and pressure.
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed beneath the Earth's surface through the slow cooling of magma, leading to larger crystal sizes. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed at the Earth's surface through the rapid cooling of lava, resulting in smaller crystal sizes.
