The solid rocky ground of the Earth's crust is called the "lithosphere." It encompasses the uppermost layer of the Earth, including both the crust and the rigid upper portion of the mantle. The lithosphere is characterized by its solid, rocky composition and is divided into tectonic plates that move and interact with one another.
