Answer:

You can Identify igneous rocks most basically by texture and grain size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Igneous rocks are rocks which solidify from molten material (magma). Cooling of the magma can occur beneath the surface (plutonic) or on the surface (volcanic). Igneous rocks can be identified by the determination of the composition and texture of the rock.
