Because it forms this way to save things lol ahaha
The asthenosphere is a flowing solid. It's sort of a liquid and a solid.
Solid water, ice, is less dense than its liquid state. This is essential for aquatic life. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats to the top of of the water. This insulates the water beneath the ice, allowing the water beneath the ice to remain liquid. For other substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.

This depends on how dense the solid is, and how dense the liquid is.
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid

Yes, a solid can be more dense than a liquid. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so a solid with a higher mass per unit volume than a liquid will be more dense. An example is comparing ice (solid) to water (liquid), where ice is more dense than liquid water.

solid will be settling at the bottom because liquid can not be denser than solid due to their arrangements of their molecules.

float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
