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.
Why a ketchup bottle is turned upside down then thrust downward and stops suddenly?
The ketchup is thick and sticky, and gravity alone might not be enough to get it to leave the bottle.So you use something called inertia.Inertia basically means that stuff like to keep doing what it was doing the moment before. So first you make the bottle, and the ketchup move downwards, then you stop the bottle. The ketchup, due to inertia, will try to keep moving, so some of it will splash out of the bottle.

How does inertia affect the ketchup in the bottle?
Inertia is the reluctance of a body at rest to start moving or a body in motion to come to rest. In this case Inertia prevents the ketchup from flowing. That is why removing/getting it out of the bottle is effective in this way: 1) Hold it by the neck 2) Turn it upside-down (cap ON please) 3) Swing it in this position towards the plate 4) Jerk it to a stop quickly right before it hits the plate The ketchup will continue flying towards the other end, even though the bottle has stopped. This is because the innertia (or tendency of an object to stay in its current state of motion, at rest or in motion) keeps it moving even though the bottle has stopped. This is a neat way to do it if this is you Physics Homework for the day, cheaters!

What does bottom neck mean?
I think you might mean "Bottle Neck". It's an expression which often describes the flow of traffic, where a wider road is condensed into a smaller one, slowing down the flow of vehicles. Think of a beer bottle to understand the expression: the body of the bottle is wider, whereas the neck of the bottle is much slimmer and smaller in diameter. If you tip the bottle upside down, liquid will only flow out as fast as the smallest part of the bottle will allow.
