In several cases, friction can be a real nuisance, mainly because it wastes energy. Thus, in many engines, where there are moving parts, you'll want to decrease friction to waste less energy.

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!

How can you decrease the magnitude of friction?

To decrease the magnitude of friction, you can apply a lubricant between the surfaces in contact, use smoother materials to reduce surface roughness, or apply a force to counteract the friction force. Reducing the normal force between the surfaces can also decrease friction.
