Because they are solid and cannot be changed. Because their atoms or molecules are held in a fixed position by intramolecular forces. The whole point of a solid is that the particles within it cannot move from their fixed position. In other words, they little particles are squeezed so tight together that they cannot be apart.

What statekeeps the same shape and volume?
A solid does. Liquids change in shape and gases change in both shape and volume.
Why can the vulume of a gas change and the solid of a remain constaant?
In a solid,particles are packed tightly to each other while the gas particles are not packed tightly. So the gas particles can be compressed and can change the volume. Solids cannot be compressed to change the volume.
