The state of matter in the lower mantle is stiff plastic (solid).
The lower mantle is solid and composed of silicate minerals like magnesium and iron oxides. It is located beneath the upper mantle and extends from 660 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. The lower mantle experiences high pressure and temperature conditions, contributing to its solid state.
it is an extremely viscose liquid, so viscose one could call it a semi-solid liquid.
The word 'cool' best characterizes the lower mantle.
The lower mantle is primarily solid, although some areas may experience partial melting to create magma. The solid nature of the lower mantle is due to high pressure, which helps keep the minerals in a solid state despite high temperatures.
The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".

The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.

The mesosphere
The middle mantle is just above the lower mantle.
The lower mantle is primarily solid, although some areas may experience partial melting to create magma. The solid nature of the lower mantle is due to high pressure, which helps keep the minerals in a solid state despite high temperatures.
