You should know that liquids flow. Can you say that salt flows? No. So, it's not a liquid. Yes, sponge can be compressed and it's considered as solid. But, it has space between it's particles, from where, air comes out when squeezed. We cannot compress a wooden block as it's atoms are already tightly packed.
