Does the movement of woodpecker involve friction force explain?

Every movement you make requires friction. When you walk, it requires friction. When a woodpecker is pecking a hole in a tree, it requires friction for him to keep his toes in the tree- static friction, to be specific. Hope that helped!

Explain how frictional force is used to reduce the speed of a moving object?

Friction is a force that always acts in a direction opposite to that of motion. So the frictional force does negative work on the velocity of an object ( thus reducing the speed of an object).
