Usually referred to as a plate.
The broken sections of the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates are rigid segments that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Their interactions can lead to geological activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains.
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
The sections of the Earth's crust that float on the partially melted section of the mantle are known as tectonic plates. These plates consist of both continental and oceanic crust and are rigid sections that move slowly over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Their interactions can lead to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
it is the crust because the crust is thin and rigid with rock

Yes. Well, more or less rigid.
