Lava's underground counterpart (5)

I believe the answer is:

magma

(Other definitions for magma that I've seen before include "Semi-fluid material within the earth's crust" , "Molten or pasty rock" , "Glassy volcanic rock" , "That's hot!" , "Hot material" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
