It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.
It is thick and does not flow fast, just like honey.

yes because it is a solid that can move
No. The rock of the asthenosphere forms a ductile solid.

The asthenosphere is a ductile solid.The asthenosphere is a layer of the mantle that consists of slowing flowing solid rock, so I would say it is considered both a liquid and a solid in one.

the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753

The rock in the asthenosphere is under immense pressure from the overlying rock. Increased pressure raises the melting point of most substances.
