Volcanic fragments are small pieces of rock that come from a volcano. Fragments are usually thrown in the air during a volcanic eruption.
Large angular rock fragments describes an agglomerate. This usually happens in volcanic vents.
The conglomerate rock you're describing likely formed from the deposition of large, angular fragments that were transported by water or ice and then fused together during the lithification process. The angular nature of the fragments suggests that they were not significantly transported from their source, indicating a nearby origin for the rock.
Pyroclasts are single fragments that are produced following a volcanic eruptions where there expanding gases rapidly erupt resulting in either the fragmentation or obliteration of rock and magma. Fine-grained pyroclastic material is generally made from ash cause by extremely high fragmentation of rock or magma.
They are called volcanic bombs.
Breccia is a clastic sedimentary rock composed of various sized visible pieces of other rock, cemented together by the processes of lithification. The pieces of rock that are visible are angular fragments, meaning they have somewhat jagged edges. This means that the fragments in the breccia did not travel far before they were deposited. If they had traveled longer and further they would have become rounded, in which case the resulting sedimentary rock would have been called conglomerate.

Breccia is a coarse-grained sedimentary rock that is composed of large, angular fragments.
"Tephra" refers to fragments of volcanic rock, ash, and other material ejected during a volcanic eruption. These fragments can vary in size from ash particles to large blocks. The term is often used in volcanology to describe the material that is produced during explosive volcanic activity.
Pyroclastic material consists of fragments of rocks that forms during a volcanic eruption. Pyroclastic particles that are less than 2mm in diameter are called Volcanic Ash. Volcanic ash that are less than o.25 mm in diameter is called volcanic Dust. Large Pyroclastic particles that are less than 64 mm in diameter are called Lapilli

Volcanic bombs, large blobs of magma that harden in the air, lapilli, pebblelike bits of magma that harden before they hit the ground, volcanic ash, forms when the gases in stiff magma expands, and volcanic blocks, large angular pieces of solid rock.
