If there were such a thing it would not be soft, it would be liquid, and would be called magma. There really is no completely molten layer of Earth except for the outer core which is composed primarily of liquid iron along with some nickel and other trace elements.

What forms when molten material from beneath earth's surface cools but doesn't hardens?
Ingenious rocks form when molten material under the earths surface cools. Not only does the molten cool it does not harden.
Why does molten rock escape from under the earths surface in certain places?
Scientists do not know the answer to this question.
What molten rock is under the surface?
Magma is molten rock under the surface.
Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
Yes it is call a crust 😁
Which molten rock is located under the earth's surface?
Magma.
What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
What is the name of the molten rock produced under earths surface?
Lava

Is the asthenosphere the partially molten layer of earths core?
The asthenosphere is partially molten; however, it is an interior layer which is separate from the Earth's inner and outer core. In fact, the asthenosphere is located directly under the lithosphere (the brittle outer shell of Earth), extending only a few hundred miles down from the surface.
What is the material at earths surface called?
Molten rock material on Earth's surface is called lava. When under Earth's surface it's called magma
Magma slowly And Under the earth's surface?
Magma is the semi-molten rock layer on which the crust floats.
What molten rock is under the surface?
Magma is molten rock under the surface.

What is the layer under the crust which is hot and partly molten?
The mantle
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
