Yes, the Earth's lithosphere is part of the outer shell of the planet which includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. So, as residents of Earth, we do exist within the lithosphere.
Yes, many living organisms inhabit the lithosphere, including organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. These organisms interact with the rock and soil of the lithosphere to derive nutrients and support their survival.
Well, honey, the lithosphere is all about rocks and soil, not exactly the ideal hangout spot for plants. Plants prefer the biosphere, where there's dirt to dig their roots into and sunlight to soak up. So, to answer your question, no plants live in the lithosphere because they're too busy thriving in the biosphere.
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
Humans live on the lithosphere, or the crust, of the earth.

Yes they do. The lithosphere is right next to the crust so we DO live on it
The lithosphere is upper layer of the earth's mantle. It is therefore, a real part of the real planet that you live on!

crust. its the outer most layer of the earth
The lithosphere is The crust and upper mantle that make up the earth's solid outer layer. Plants found in the lithosphere are aloe vera, Christmas cactus, neem, orchids, etc.
Actually, The lithosphere consists of solid rock, soil and minerals. The biosphere consists of all living plants and animals and their interactions with the rocks, soil, air and water in their habitats.
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
Because of something called Isostacy-the gravitational equilibrium between lithosphere and asthenosphere, such that plates "float" at an elevation that dependes on the thickness and density. EX. Think floating ice cubes
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
Well, honey, the lithosphere is all about rocks and soil, not exactly the ideal hangout spot for plants.
