Volcanic rock is igneous, not sedimentary or metamorphic. It forms when magma cools and solidifies on or near the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form through the accumulation and cementation of sediments, while metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.

What is the definition of Igneous Rock?
Igneous rock is a type of rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. It is classified based on its texture (coarse or fine-grained) and composition (silica content and mineralogy). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
