A batholith is not necessarily in a volcano, but it is definitely involved with them. When a large body of magma cools inside the Earth's crust, creating a bed of volcanic rock, this is called a batholith. This can be a magma chamber or otherwise.

When batholith touches surrounding rock it does what?

When a batholith touches surrounding rock, the heat and pressure generated by the intrusion can alter the surrounding rock through contact metamorphism. This can result in the formation of new minerals or changes in the existing rock's texture and structure. Over time, the contact between the batholith and surrounding rock can lead to the creation of unique geological features and formations.
