What is compaction in geology?
Compaction is one process leading to the formation of sedimentary rock by the pressing weight of overlying layers of sediment. Compaction leads to the formation of sedimentary rock by squeezing out air and fluids that exist between sediment particles. As the particles become closer and closer together and the fluids are removed, the particles can become cemented together by minerals that were in the fluids.

Why can a liquid expand to take the shape of its container but not expand to fill the container?
It doesn't expand to take the shape of its container, but it flows because the particles can slide past each other, and the bonds are loose, and not completely broken, whereas in gases, the bonds between particles have been broken down, and so they can move apart and fill the container.
