A porous igneous rock is a type of rock formed from the solidification of molten magma or lava that contains numerous small gas bubbles, resulting in a texture characterized by many voids or pores. This porosity allows the rock to be lightweight and often contributes to its ability to absorb water. Common examples of porous igneous rocks include pumice and scoria, which are formed during explosive volcanic eruptions. These rocks are often used in construction and landscaping due to their unique properties.
