It's both a liquid with very high viscosity and a solid with very low degree of 'hardness'.

They are solids. Liquids are liquids because they are able to change shape without the use of compressional forces. For plasticine and playdough, they are only able to change shape using force. Hence, they are not liquids, but solids.

yes I agree that it is a solid because it does not flow it has a fixed shape and a fixed volume. The fixed shape is the challenging one to explain because when you apply a force its shape can change but generally it stays in the shape you put it in. plastacine is a type of modaling clay that never hardens

Plasticine is a solid since it has a definite volume but does not contain a definite shape. However, it can be molded into any shape.

Plasticine is a solid at room temperature, but when heated above 40 C, it becomes like paint. When heated in an oven at high temperatures, it is a liquid.
