Procedure; Human Factors
On short final less than 1/4 mile; 200 ft. above the ground; a C172 from a taxiway pulled right in front of our landing aircraft without a radio call or looking for landing traffic.  I had to take control of the aircraft and accomplish an avoiding maneuver to not collide with the intruder. That was a textbook runway incursion.
C172 pilot reported a runway incursion at a non-towered airport that resulted in a critical ground conflict.
