No one really knows exactly the state of matter throughout the entire mantle. Rigid upper mantle is part of the Earth's lithospheric plates, and below that, the asthenosphere exists where rock is in a putty like state that can bend and move without breaking. Then the mantle appears to become more solid with depth.
