The Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a part of the Mantle.

The large sections of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates
Plates of the lithosphere do not float on the core. They float on the asthenosphere (plastic mantle). Due to convection currents and the earths rotation, plates glide over the asthenosphere. This theory is the theory of Plate Tectonics.
Lithosphere
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.

Asthenosphere
The tectonic plates which form Earth's crust move on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer of the mantle is known as the asthenosphere.
