The layer of the Earth that is primarily composed of soft rock is the **asthenosphere**. The asthenosphere is located beneath the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth. The asthenosphere consists of partially molten rock and behaves in a ductile manner, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates above it.
