Intrusive igneous rock is cooled and solidified above ground. Typically it's formed from lava, which comes from underground. That's why it's called intrusive.

Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly below the Earth's surface, allowing large crystals to grow. Unlike extrusive rocks that solidify quickly at the surface, intrusive rocks remain below ground, resulting in coarse-grained structures. Granite is a common example of an intrusive igneous rock.
