Answer:
Glass is called supercooled liquid because glass is an amorphous solid. Amorphous solids have the tendency to flow but, slowly. I doest not form a crystalline solid structure as particles in solids do not move but here it moves. Hence it is called a supercooled liquid.

Glass is an amorphous solid. Like liquids, it has a tendency to flow, though very slowly. This can be seen from the glass panes of windows or doors of very old buildings which are thickerat the bottom than at the top. That's why it is considered a supercooled liquid.
