Fluids are the substances which flow from one place to other.
Liquids and gases both are fluid form of matter.
****************************************************************************
--->LIQUID is the fluid form of matter which fills the lower part of the container.
--->In liquid state, particles have less molecular force compared to solids.
--->When inter molecular force is less, the substance tend to flow.
---->The pressure head is the main cause for the liquids to flow.
Hence As liquid flows, they always requires containers to store them.

In order to understand why a liquid generally flows easily compared to a solid, we have to first look at the basic three states of matter, solid, liquid, gas from a molecular stand-point.
Let's take the perfect example of water, which is liquid at room temperature, solid at 0 C and Gas at 100 C.
When in the form of an ice, such as an Ice Berg, the molecules are in a 'cool temperature' which means that the energy within it's molecules is very low, so they are stable and not moving. This stability is what binds all the molecules together resulting in a solid State.
However, if this ice berg, slowly comes in temperate weather, and hot sun, the molecules start to absorb this energy, and as a result, start to gradually vibrate, loosening the bond between each molecule resulting in the solid iceberg, slowly turning to water.
If we take this water and heat it further, the molecules within the water will start to vibrate even more, resulting in molecules completely loosing and as a result, the water turns into Steam
