* Vesicular rock texture is generally displayed in extrusive igneous rocks which contain many vesicles of trapped air, such as pumice or scoria.
* Igneous rocks containing holes which were produced as gases escaped from the upper part of lava flow.
If something has a homophonic texture then it has a chordal texture :)

Largely homophonic although there are lines of monophony.
Homophonic
It has a vesicular texture.
A rock with little to no grain development and a vesicular texture is typically called a vesicular rock. It is formed from a volcanic eruption, where gases trapped in the lava create bubbles or vesicles. The most common example is vesicular basalt.
Scoria is a dark colored, extrusive igneous rock with a vesicular texture. It can be found in all countries that have volcanoes.
A vesicular igneous texture generally indicates rapid cooling.
A vesicular texture is one where there are small voids within the igneous rock. These tend to form in extrusive igneous rocks due to the loss of confining pressure which causes gasses dissolved in the molten material to come out of solution or exsolve. These gasses form bubbles within the cooling lava and can become trapped if the lava cools rapidly, leaving a permanent gas bubble or void space within the solidified igneous rock.
Basalt.Vesicular texture describes an aphanitic rock characterized by preservation of cavities (vesicles) originally filled by escaping gases. Highly vesicular basalts (low-silica magma) are called scoria, whereas highly vesicular rhyolite (high-silica magma) is known as pumice
Vesicular basalt has small rounded voids called vesicules formed by the molten rock cooling and freezing around pockets of gas. It looks a lot like a rock hard sponge. Non vesicular basalt is a normal solid rock.

Vesicular rocks contain lots of small cavities, usually filled with air. Non- vesicular ones don't have these holes. Vesicles are formed when magma suddenly rushes out on to the surface and its dissolved gases come out of solution, blowing bubbles in the liquid rock which are preserved as it cools quickly and sets. An example of a vesicular rock is pumice.
Vesicular igneous rocks cool quickly from magma, resulting in pockets of trapped gas or gas bubble imprints that make it appear porous. Pumice and scoria are examples of igneous rock with vesicles.
Yes. Pumice is so fine-grained, often times it's crystals are vesicular and glassy.
