since igneous rocks are more dense than the other two rock types, they will not as easily erode away and hence maintain the structure of the ancient volcano
How did devils tower form?
A loooooooong time ago it was classified as a Stratovolcano. When it erupted, the magma cooled and hardened in the volcano.

How is a volcanic neck formed in lizard head peak?
A volcanic neck forms when the volcano has long since been extinct. The once molten magma that is in the former eruptive vent of the volcano cools and solidifies over time. Once the magma is solidified long after extinction of the volcano erosional forces take over on the volcano. Over time the volcano becomes more and more dissected. Once the older layers of the volcano are eroded away all that will remain is the erosion resistant solidified magma that was in the now ancient volcanoes vents.
