Molten rock within the Earth’s mantle and crust (5)

I believe the answer is:

magma

(Other definitions for magma that I've seen before include "Semi-fluid material within the earth's crust" , "Glassy volcanic rock" , "hot filling in crust" , "Lava" , "Hot molten rock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
