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.
The Sierra Nevada batholith is wonderfully exposed in the granite domes at Yosemite National Park.

A batholith is a pluton exposed across more than 100 square km of Earth's surface. An average batholith is about 10 km thick, but can be up to 20 km thick. A stock is very similar to a batholith, but with less than 100 square km exposed.
