Answer:The state of matter that something is in depends on how fast the molecules in that thing are moving. Usually a very hot object would have a lot of kinetic energy, making it's molecules move very fast, putting it into a liquid, gas or plasma state. However the core of the earth has immense amounts of gravity weighing down on it which makes the molecules compact and move slower despite the large amounts of heat. Making it solid.
