In a sense, yes. At fault zones underwater, the seawater does 'mix' with magma and volcanic rock, changing the form of the magma and rock. Rock is more dense than water, even when rock is liquid, so the center of the earth won't fill with liquid water.
- Someone 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_gradient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_gradient: “As a general rule, the crust temperature rises with depth due to the heat flow from the much hotter mantle; away from tectonic plate boundaries, temperature rises in about 25–30 °C/km (72–87 °F/mi) of depth near the surface in most of the world.” ⇒ Even under pressure, I think most water would boil before it could reach the core. Certainly if there’s magma a steam explosion is likely.
