To be honest its kind of both. Liquids flow too and so do gases but if you were to time them i mean throw some water on the floor makes the liquid faster but letting out gas is the same on the other hand.

Although i would say liquids.

"A substance which flows" is called Fluids.

OR

"fluid deforms under an applied shear stress"

Fluid means being able to flow freely.since both states of matter contains particles that are bonded securely to any other particle ,they can indeed flow and so are called fluids.

fluid comprise a subset of states of matter and include liquid,gases and plasma

All liquids and gases are examples of fluid.

YES, gases and liquids both come under the category of fluids. Fluids have the uniqe property of flow. The air passing over the wings of an airlane is the example of flowing gaseous fluid.
