This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
The inner core is more dense than the outer core. The inner core is mainly composed of solid iron and nickel, while the outer core is liquid iron and nickel. The increased pressure in the inner core makes it more compact and dense.

Well, the outer core is made of liquid and the inner core is solid so i guess in a way it kind of is solid and liquid.
The solid and dense layer of the Earth is the inner core. Composed primarily of iron and nickel, the inner core exists under extreme pressure and temperatures, which keep it in a solid state despite the high heat. It is surrounded by the outer core, which is liquid and less dense.
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
There are two parts of the core: Inner and Outer. The outer core is liquid, the inner solid. The inner core is solid due to the pressure exerted on it, despite the excessively high temperature.
It isn't. The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid.
the solid inner core and the liquid outer core
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
outer core is liquid whereas the inner core is solid
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
