What is a crack that has been filled in by magma and hardens parallel to existing rock layers?

A crack that has been filled in by magma and hardens parallel to existing rock layers is known as a "sill." Sills are formed when magma intrudes between pre-existing rock layers and solidifies, resulting in a horizontal or nearly horizontal sheet of igneous rock. This process can create distinctive geological features and is an important aspect of igneous rock formation.
