In England principal kind of land ownership is the “freehold estate”. You own a concept which in practical terms you and your heirs are allowed to possess and occupy the physical entity of land of certain three dimensions, namely:

the two dimensional area on the surface - as shown to be within the boundary (on a map for instance)

the third dimension - which is sides the cone converging down to the centre of the earth (wherever that is..?). For practical purposes this boundary is regarded as vertical from the surface - conceptually it is not!

However, your physical rights are limited by other concrete laws. In England they include:

rights of ownership in coal, oil, gas, gold (?) vest in the state

others may obtain the right to mine or extract the above minerals from the government under licence

public and private bodies may obtain the statutory right to compulsorily lay and use under your land pipes, cables, drains, sewers, underground railway tunnels etc

for fracking, the right to extend a horizontal pipe from outside your “vertical” boundary is allowed to frackers .

Finally, the rights may be subject to you receiving rent, royalties, and compensation for actual or potential damage or injury to your land and person.

Answer:

if someone owns a piece of land, it should only be part of the crust layer, i.e, the surface of the earth. So, i don't think they can own it.
