The definition of igneous rock states than it is formed from magma or lava through solidification via crystallization of minerals. In essence, the magma becomes frozen into rock as crystals form, much as water freezes into the mineral ice.

Magma turns into igneous rock through the process of solidification. As magma cools and loses heat, it crystallizes and solidifies to form igneous rocks. The rate of cooling and the mineral composition of the magma influence the texture and characteristics of the resulting igneous rock.
