Final answer:

Magma is considered a liquid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magma is considered a liquid. Magma is molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface. It is formed when solid rock in the Earth's mantle or crust melts and becomes a liquid.

Magma is a molten and semi-molten rock mixture found under the surface of the Earth. This mixture is usually made up of four parts: a hot liquid base, called the melt; minerals crystallized by the melt; solid rocks incorporated into the melt from the surrounding confines; and dissolved gases.
