Any type of extrusive igneous rock. (i.e. basalt, rhyolite, andesite...)
Also, some sedimentary rocks form at the surface by the precipitation of minerals when solutions cool or the water evaporates out of them. Examples include travertine, a calcite-rich rock that forms in hot mineral spring as the water cools, and various evaporites.

What forms when molten material from beneath earth's surface cools but doesn't hardens?
Ingenious rocks form when molten material under the earths surface cools. Not only does the molten cool it does not harden.
Is it true that igneous rocks form only beneath earths surface?
It is not true. Extrusive rock forms on the surface from solidifying lava.

Do igneous rocks only form beneath the Earth's surface?
Yes, because it has to be melted and pressured, so it needs to be near the earth's hot core.
