Pillow Lava are formed when lava congeals underwater, forming a solid rock that resembles a fluffy pillow, hence the name pillow lava. When the lava comes into contact with the temperature change, it immediately forms a skin around it, while the inside cools slowly to produce a finer grained structure. LINK
