Friction always acts to oppose any relative motion between surfaces. For the simple example of a book resting on a flat table, the frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the book across the table, so there is no need for a frictional force because there is nothing for the frictional force to oppose.

No the frictional force never opposes relative motion between two objects rather it helps in their motion. For example if we want to write something on a sheet of paper and if no friction exists between pen and paper it would be impossible to write.
