This would be an extrusive igneous rock, which will have a smooth appearance because the mineral crystals are too small to see. If the lava is basic you will probably get basalt, and if it's acidic it's likely to form rhyolite.

Intrusive (Plutonic) Igneous Rock.
What kind of rock forms when hot molten rock cools deep under the surface of the earth?
These are igneous rocks.

When lava flows and cools on Earth's surface it forms what kind of rock?
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidificatio of magma or lava.
What does extrusive rock means?
Extrusive igneous rock is one of two different types of igneous rocks. The other kind is intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma in Earth's lithosphere cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock is formed when lava on Earth's surface cools and hardens.

What kind of rock is formed when magma or lava cools and hardens?
Igneous rock is formed.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earths surface it forms what kind of rock?
It forms an igneous rock. If it is within the Earth, then it is an intrusive igneous rock (e.g. granite) and if it is erupted onto Earth's surface then it is an extrusive igneous rock (e.g. basalt).
