True or false the asthenosphere is not considered solid because it can bend like plastic?

False - the asthenosphere is a solid that deforms in a ductile fashion - it undergoes permanent plastic deformations.
Further information: The statement must be false. Plastic is a solid, so if something is going to be considered a non-solid, it cannot be like a solid. Whether or not the asthenosphere is solid, one cannot argue that it is non-solid as a result of it having a characteristic of plastic.
