Here are some definitions that might clarify something 🙂

Lava is the molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption. The resulting rock after solidification and cooling is also called lava.
A column or pillar in architecture and structural engineering is a structural element that transmits, through compression, the weight of the structure above to other structural elements below.
An island /ˈaɪlənd/ or isle /ˈaɪl/ is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.
