How did the scientist discover that the outer core is liquid?

The discovery that the Earth's outer core is liquid primarily came from the study of seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Scientists observed that P-waves (primary waves) could travel through the Earth's interior, but S-waves (secondary waves) could not pass through the outer core, indicating that it was in a liquid state. This behavior of seismic waves provided crucial evidence that the outer core is not solid, leading to the understanding of its liquid composition.
