No. Magma is molten rock within the earth, regardless of whether it is in the mantle or in the crust. The mantle is a layer of earth that makes up most of its volume. Contrary to popular belief, it is actually mostly solid due to being under high pressure. A large portion of it has a "plastic" texture, like modelling clay.
