Usually referred to as a plate.
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
It is called the lithosphere.

Yes. Well, more or less rigid.
