It's a non-Newtonian fluid so it's not completely a solid. The chemical bonds in corn starch are very long and stringy and when water comes in it breaks them apart making it a liquid. The solid part is when it is squished together it makes a solid.

How do you isolate starch?
To remove water from starch takes time. Set out the container so that the water can evaporate. This will turn the corn starch into a solid that can be easily crumbled.
How long can a solid stay outside with out melting?
Depends on what the solid is made of and what the temperature is. Sand is a solid and will stay outside forever in normal Earth temperatures without melting. Ice will stay outside forever if the temperature remains below freezing point.

How do solids behave when put into a container?
A solid will stay compact. The molecules in the solid will be so tight that the solid will keep it's shape. Think of putting a brick in a cup, the brick will stay the same shape as opposed to putting water in a cup, which will take the shape of the cup.

What is the name for the mixture made of cornstarch and water?
If it is mixed correctly, you get a solid and a liquid at the same time, a substance known as a Non-Newtonian fluid. By that I mean that if you squish it it will become a solid, and if you just leave it in your hand it will turn into a liquid. Its fun to just play with when your bored
Can solid turn into liquid?
Yes. Every solid has a melting temperature above which (hotter) it is a liquid and beneath which (colder) it is a solid. Answer For example, water becomes ice at zero degrees Celsius / 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature is the melting temperature for ice. Hotter than that temperature will turn ice into water, and colder than that temperature will turn water into ice. 0 degrees Celsius is also called the triple point because water, ice, and water vapor can all exist at that temperature without changing their forms. In other words, at that temperature, ice can stay ice, water can stay water, and water vapor can stay water vapor.
