Regolith
The part of the soil profile that is made up of partly weathered rock is called the regolith. Regolith is the layer of loose, fragmented material that sits above the unaltered bedrock in the soil profile.
Solid rock is being weathered at the bedrock layer, which is the deepest layer of the soil profile. Weathering processes like physical breakage and chemical decomposition act on the bedrock to gradually break it down into smaller particles, contributing to soil formation.
the lithosphere is the full crust and top part of the mantle but the asthenosphere is just a little bit above the middle of the mantle but not any of he crust
Once weathered material is deposited and protected from erosion, it can undergo diagenesis, a process where it gets compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rock. Over time, the sedimentary rock can become part of the Earth's crust through processes like lithification, ultimately becoming a permanent part of the geologic record.
The asthenosphere contains partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle, while the lithosphere is a rigid layer of the Earth's crust and upper mantle that does not contain melted rock. The asthenosphere's semi-fluid behavior allows tectonic plates to move across it.

Regolith is mostly a product of weathering. Bedrock may be exposed to water or other compounds that percolate through the soil, or it may occur as an outcrop.
The part of a soil profile made up of partly weathered rock is called the parent material. This layer is the starting point for soil formation and can vary in composition and characteristics depending on the underlying rock type. Over time, the parent material undergoes further weathering and processes to become soil.
C horizon beacuse that part of the soil profile is made out of rock and so how can you do weathering without rock?

The noun form of "partly" is "part." It refers to a portion or division of something.
The word 'partly' is the adverb form of the noun part.

The inorganic part of soil is made up of particles of sand, silt, and clay. These inorganic components arise from weathered parent rock, over tens of thousands of years.
