Igneous rocks typically do not have distinct layers, as they form from the solidification of molten material (magma or lava) that cools and crystallizes. Unlike sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation of sediment in layers, igneous rocks are usually homogeneous and can be either intrusive (formed beneath the Earth's surface) or extrusive (formed at the surface). However, some igneous rocks may exhibit layering due to processes like differential cooling or the presence of varying mineral compositions, but this is not a defining characteristic.
