Hard rocks form the outer layer of the Earth (the lithosphere) which includes the crust and upper mantle. Rocks of the remaining mantle are in a plastic state, able to move, bend and deform without breaking.
The Earth's mantle is a rocky layer between the crust and the core, so it's made of of solid material, not liquid. It's comprised of minerals that contain mostly silicon, oxygen and magnesium. (From "The Cosmic Perspective - Sixth Edition").
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==

basalt and granite
Well, darling, the layer you're talking about is the Earth's crust. And yes, it's mostly made up of granite and various rocks. So, there you have it, the crust is the rocky outer layer of our lovely planet.
The layer of the Earth that is mostly made of granite and rocks is the continental crust. This outermost layer varies in thickness and is composed primarily of lighter, granitic rocks, as opposed to the denser basaltic rocks found in the oceanic crust. The continental crust is essential for supporting terrestrial life and contains a variety of geological features.
The layer of Earth made up of loose rocks and soil is the Earth's crust. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is where most geological activity, such as earthquakes and mountain-building, occurs.

The solid layer of the Earth that is made mostly of iron and nickel is called the inner core.
crust
The earth is made of mostly rock because the crust is rock and the inside such as the core is molten rock such as lava.
The layer of the Earth that is primarily made of rocks and soil is called the crust. The Earth's crust is the outermost layer of the planet and is divided into two types: continental crust (underlying land masses) and oceanic crust (underlying ocean basins).
