The material must be flexible - it must change its shape. Plasticene (modelling clay) or a soft plastic rod would be examples. It need not be soft however, a metal spring or strip would be bendable.

it can be easily be bent.
flexible, easily bent
A metal rod or a wooden plank are stiff items that are not easily bent. These materials are known for their rigidity and strength, making them suitable for providing structural support or resistance to bending forces.
On heating, metal softens and can be bent easily without breaking.
Non-metals.

A mineral that can be bent without breaking and will stay bent is called malleable. It means that the mineral can be easily shaped or molded without breaking, and it will hold the shape after being bent.
limber or flexable Easily bent or flexed
