A cinder is a fragment of cooled pyroclastic material (lava or magma). Cinders are either intrusive igneous (magma cooled inside the earth) or extrusive igneous (lava cooled outside of the earth). Cinders are similar to pumice, which has so many cavities and is such low-density that it can float on water. Pumice or cinders are used in soap, xeriscaping, mulch, and rock gardens.

Cinder means the residue of something that has been burned or exposed to excessive heat.
Volcanic rock, when exposed to tremendous heat will become a cinder. If you have ever seen what is left when a coal fire has gone out . . . .cinders.
