Hello dear friend,
The reason behind this is the concept of centrifugal force. Along with the fact that earth is spinning and oblate in shape, the reason for this shape is rotation, the ''sides'' as such are flung outwards, so the top and bottom pull inwards to compensate.
Hope this helps !! thankyou & goodluck! :)
