Igneous Rock is formed when magma cools and hardens. It depends on whether it cools above ground or under ground for the size of the mineral crystals forming inside it.

No. Sedimentary rock forms when broken bits of rock get compressed and cemented together. Igneous or "magma" rock forms when molten rock cools and solidifies, essentially freezing.

Intrusive Igneous Rock.
What kind of rock forms when magma or lava cool and hardens?
Igneous rocks
Basaltic magma forms what kind of igneous rock?
Mafic igneous rock. ( due to Ferromagnesian minerals).
When a sedimetary rock melts what kind of rock does it form?

What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
Does sedimentary rock form from the cooling of magma?

Which type of rock forms from magma?
magma is a mixture of several different types of rock.
