The mantle is the source of molten rock. This molten material can, if the tectonics are right, penetrate up through the solid outer mantle and the crust to deliver lava, which is molten rock (magma) that has reached the surface of the earth.
Magma.
The mantle is the hot rock.
Mantle Plumes
Igneous rock
If it were molten, it would be called magma.
