Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.

No, magma is located in the volcano when it comes out it is called lava. Lava cools after it comes out. Magma is still heated as the volcano is.
A smooth lava flow is called pahoehoe. Pahoehoe lava has a ropey texture and forms when molten lava cools and solidifies quickly on the surface.
When hot lava cools and hardens, it undergoes a process called solidification. As the lava loses heat, it transitions from a molten state to a solid state. During this process, the lava solidifies into rock, forming igneous rock formations such as basalt, granite, or obsidian.

Most lava forms a rock called basalt when it cools.

Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the crystallization of minerals as the lava cools.
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.
Lava cools quickly and forms rocks with small crystals. They are called extrusive igneous rocks.
When lava cools down quickly at the surface of the Earth, it forms an igneous rock called basalt. Basalt is dark in color, fine-grained, and contains minerals such as olivine and pyroxene.
Lava cools through a process called solidification, where it loses heat to the surrounding environment. Water or air can help cool lava more quickly, causing it to solidify faster, while the composition of the lava itself also plays a role in how quickly it cools.
Yes, when lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The type of rock that forms depends on the chemical composition of the lava and the rate at which it cools.
