Igneous rocks were not "discovered" by a single person, as they have been formed naturally through volcanic activity for millions of years. However, early studies of rocks and their classifications began in the 18th century, with notable contributions from geologists like James Hutton, often considered the father of modern geology. Hutton's work laid the foundation for understanding the formation of igneous rocks as part of the Earth's geological processes.
