Answer:
Plutonic rocks are also known as 'intrusive igneous rocks' because they form when magma squeezes into cracks and crevices, as if it is an 'intruder' who is invading the rocks.
In geology, a pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock (called a plutonic rock) that is crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth. Plutons include batholiths, stocks, dikes, sills, laccoliths, lopoliths, and other igneous formations.
