Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.
When magma reaches the top of the asthenosphere it can start to work its way through the lithosphere, potentially reaching the surface to erupt from volcanoes.
Increasing pressure pushes the magma upwards. This rising pressure can be caused by many different things.
The molten magma increases in pressure (like a pressure cooker at home) until it is forced towards the surface.
The rock in a rising convection current is hotter and more buoyant than the surrounding rock, causing it to rise.
Because of the asthenosphere.
the role of asthenosphere in magma generetion
Magma rises from the asthenosphere to the surface of the Earth. After it reaches temperature upward to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, the magma starts to rise. Gases also aid in pushing the magma toward the surface, along with the tremendous pressure from the depth at which it originates.

asthenosphere
Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics.Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere.
Ridge push, slab pull, and convection.
Magma could be found occurring in the lithosphere or the asthenosphere, usually originating in the asthenosphere.
