The lithosphere. "Lith" is the root word for rock.
The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form into lithosphere.

The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
the lithosphere is the full crust and top part of the mantle but the asthenosphere is just a little bit above the middle of the mantle but not any of he crust
The Earth layer known as the lithosphere consists of the crust and uppermost mantle. There is no solid layer above the lithosphere.

The lithosphere is basically the part of Earth that we stand on. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Under the lithosphere is the mantle, then the outher and inner core. Over it? Technically, just the crust. Then...us.
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. Combined, they form the lithospheric plates.
Together the crust and upper mantle make the lithosphere.
