This is known as igneous petrogenesis.

The liquification process is known as melting (or partial melting as commonly not all mantle material melts at the same temperature). This material is then normally either erupted onto the Earth's surface forming extrusive igneous rocks or intruded into the earth's crust froming intrusive igneous rocks when it cools. Together they can be thought of as the formational process that igenous rocks undergo which is known as igneous petrogenesis.
