Answer;

Pegmatitic

Step-by-step explanation;

-The texture of igneous rocks can be analyzed by geologists to understand the manner in which the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, or how it is a melted rock. A pegmatitic texture is one in which the mineral grains are exceptionally large.

-Igneous rocks may be identified by determining their composition and texture. Once the two characteristics have been identified, the Igneous Rock Identification chart is used to identify the name of the rock.
