Answer:

Both the lithisphere and asthenosphere are the part of Earth and are made of similar material. Lithosphere is made up of Earth's outermost layer, the crust, and the uppermost portion of the mantle. In comparison, the asthenosphere is the uppermost portion of Earth's mantle. Which is also the middle layer of Earth.
