Solids do not flow because there is very little intermolecular space between them and hence they hold each other very tightly so they cannot flow
Solids don't flow, because they have a tight bond with the partiles
the atoms and molecules are packed so close together there is no room for them to pass through each other
yes indeed solids can flow as well. all states of matter are fluids.

It's the flow of water that carries solids, whenever the flow slows then some of the solids will fall to the bottom of the stream.
solids i guess
Any material can flow under stress.
solids
Solids have a strict shape and volume. Solids do not flow and they are usually cannot be easily compressed.
Solid materials can flow under certain conditions, such as when subjected to high temperatures or pressures. For example, metals can flow like liquids at high temperatures, a phenomenon known as creep. However, under normal conditions, solids maintain their shape and do not flow like liquids.
Simply, there are three types of matter (which scientists call states), solid, liquid and gas. Liquids and gasses can flow. Solids do not. The solid state is defined by the fact that solids can not flow.
Either by conduction or convection?
