Narrative:
While on a dual IFR cross country from X21 to imm, student was given a descent to 5000 ft but continued the descent down to 4600 ft. ZMA controller said the mode C indicated 4600 ft and cleared the aircraft to expedite climb back to 5000 ft. Student climbed back to 5000 ft. The distraction was due to a discussion of the approach which was upcoming.
