Objects moving in fluids face the friction of the fluid that opposes their motion. So objects moving in fluids must have unique shapes called streamlined shapes to reduce the fluid friction. ... Therefore, special shapes are designed to minimize the opposing frictional force.

hey arpitaa!! ✨
When a body moves through a fluid, it experiences an opposing force which tries to oppose its motion through the fluid. This opposing force is known as the drag force. This frictional force depends on the shape of the body. By giving objects a special shape, the force of friction acting on it can be minimised.
Hence, it becomes easier for the body to move through the fluid.
