No...Volcanoes are openings in a planet's surface which allows for the flow of magma...volcanic rocks are simply rocks that originate from a volcano (igneous rocks)

Where do you find andesite?
Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock of intermediate composition. This is a volcanic rock that can be found in areas with volcanoes such as, Slovakia.
Why are extrusive rocks sometimes referred to as volcanic?
An extrusive rock is a rock that has been deposited at the earths surface as a liquid/fluid, coming to the surface form a depth through a fissure in the earth as a liquid/fluid. The most common type of liquid rock is a magma and magmas erupting at the surface are called "volcanoes" and thus the rocks are called "volcanic" rocks. However there are also volcanoes to be found that have nothing to do with molten rock magmas. These are called "Mud" volcanoes and they are caused by de-watering processes in rocks. The muds brought to the surface are also technically extrusive and these are NOT volcanic rocks.
What type of landform can be created when magma hardens in a volcanoes pipe?
Volcanic Neck The surrounding rock weathers more easily than the magma in the pipe. The resultant structure will first appear as a low flat protrusion which is slightly elevated from its surroundings. With additional weathering of the surrounding rock, the hardened magma may appear as a tower with possible basaltic columnar structure known as a volcanic plug or volcanic neck.
