The earth has a solid iron core at the centre. Surrounding that there is a molten iron core then a mantle of melted rock then the crust that you live on. These have been verified and mapped by the study of P waves and S waves travelling through the earth after an earthquake. P waves travel though both solids and liquids while S waves only travel through solids. They also travel at different speeds.
