the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
The crust, then core, then mantle
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.

the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
The Earth's crust and the very top of the mantle combined is called the lithosphere. It is the rigid outermost part of the Earth.

The upper mantle is less rigid because the pressure is lower
Yes. Well, more or less rigid.
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
