For a rock to be classified as an igneous rock it must have been formed by a volcano. So, it could be made out of cooled magma or lava. The different types of igneous rocks are due to different cooling processes. It could have been spewed into the air and cooled on the way down, it could have been underwater and cooled immediately, or it could have oozed out of some crack and cooled slowly. Another way it may have solidified is by a decrease in pressure. For example, being spewed into the air and falling a couple hundred feet.
The process that changes sedimentary rock into igneous rock is called "melting." When sedimentary rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust, it can melt and re-crystallize into igneous rock. This process occurs in the presence of magma and can lead to the formation of new igneous rock.
When melted rock solidifies, it forms an igneous rock. This process is known as crystallization.
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
It solidifies.
the type of rock formed when lava or magma cools is igneous rock..
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
Melting and crystallization.
The transition form magma to rock is a process of cooling.
sedimentary rock
In intense heat and pressure, igneous rock can undergo metamorphism, transforming into metamorphic rock. This process involves recrystallization of minerals, and the rock may develop foliation or banding patterns. The original texture and mineral composition of the rock can change as a result of this process.

Metamorphic rock continues to heat and eventually melts and becomes igneous rocks.

The process that must occur to change any rock to igneous rock is melting.
It forms igneous rock.
it cools
