Not all of them are coarse grained, however, in general when magma is intruded into other rocks rather then being extruded onto the earth's surface and cooling in air or water, it cools down more slowly. This slow cooling allows time for crystals to grow and this makes the rocks coarse grained.

What characteristics are used to classify igneous rocks?
Intrusive and extrusive factors of an igneous rock classify them. The other factors are if they are vesicular, coarse, fine grained, glassy, or very coarse
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
What are the types of volcanic rocks?
Igneous rocks exhibit three types of textures: coarse grained (intrusive), fine grained (extrusive), and porphyritic (two-stage solidification of mineral constituents). Chemically, they are categorized as felsic, mafic, or intermediate.
