What is the property of solid called which converts into liquid by shaking?

It's not really a solid converting to a liquid, it's a high-viscosity (thick) liquid that becomes less viscous with stress.
The best analogy I can think of is tomato ketchup: you can turn a bottle upside down and it takes ages to run out, but if you shake the bottle then the ketchup goes runny. I believe that ketchup isn't technically thixotropic, but it's a useful "everyday example" for explanatory purposes.
Hope that helps.

When iodine is heated does any iodine melt?
iodine is a substance that has an unusual property, it has the ability to sublimate, this means that it converts directly from a solid to a gas with no liquid stage at all. So no, no iodine will "melt" into a liquid, it will insted turn into a purple gas.
