Igneous rocks can be either intrusive (plutonic and hypabyssal) or extrusive (volcanic).
An intrusion is any body of intrusive igneous rock, formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet.
Intrusive rocks are characterized by large crystal sizes, and as the individual crystals are visible, the rock is called phaneritic.
