Explanation:

The porphyritic texture is very common in igneous rocks, it consists of larger crystals (phenocrysts) that are embedded in a fine-grained groundmass or matrix (I annexed an image of this structure). This kind of texture indicates that the magma sat and cooled a bit below the Earth's surface, giving time for the large crystals to grow, before erupting onto the surface and cooling very quickly.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
