No, the mantle is not the hardest layer of the Earth. While it is solid and composed of dense, silicate rocks, the inner core is actually the hardest layer, made primarily of iron and nickel and subjected to immense pressure. The outer core, on the other hand, is liquid and does not have the same hardness as the mantle or inner core.
