What type of rock forms directly from magma?

• Igneous Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

Magma (the molten rock present deep inside the earth) or lava on earth's surface following a volcanic eruption, solidifies due to rapid cooling and crystallizes to form a type of rock called ​ (a)   .
