Magma that leaves a volcano vent is called lava.
Magma leaves a volcano through an opening called a vent. The pressure from the buildup of magma inside the volcano forces it to erupt out through the vent, often resulting in volcanic explosions and lava flows.
This describes a volcano.
The tunnel that magma goes through to reach the top of a volcano is called a conduit. This conduit is often a vertical pipe-like structure that connects the magma chamber beneath the volcano to the surface.
It doesn't. The volcano is a result of the magma travelling from the earths core through geological faults and breaking through the crust of the Earth. The mountain shaped Volcano that you see is the remnants of solidified ash and magma (pumice) which has been ejected from the magma chamber. This cone builds up over the fissure which ejects the magma onto the surface.

Lava
Lava (AKA magma) escapes a volcano through a vent.
Lava (AKA magma) escapes a volcano through a vent.
First, the magma breaks open rocks underneath the volcano. Then, it flows up through cracks of the volcano. After it is all the way to the top, the volcano erupts. Then the magma and lava flows outside the volcano.

The flowchart typically shows that after magma leaves the pipes, it can either erupt onto the Earth's surface as lava through a volcano or it can solidify underground to form intrusive igneous rocks like plutons or dikes.
Magma is the term for lava before it erupts out of a volcano. It is molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface.
It is called a volcano.
