It's because an icecube is a solid. Unless if it's melted, it will stay as a solid (cube shape)

Why does liquid water take its shape of the container but an ice cube does not?
Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....

What is the volume formula for liquid?
Depending on the shape of the container for the liquid, you can find the volume different ways. If the container is a cube, the volume is (base * Width * height). if the container is a cylinder, the volume is (PI * Radius2 * height). The answer you would get from these equations is expressed in units cubed (example: cm3).
Why does liquid water take the shape of the cup but solid ice cubes do not?
An ice cube is a solid. This means that its molecules hold tightly together and it retains its shape.Water is a liquid. This means that its molecules are loosely bonded together, and gravity can pull them down. When it does, the molecules will spread out to fill the shape of the container they are in.
Why does liquid water take the shape of its container when an ice cube does not?
as the ice cube has changed it sate theparticles have moved closer together. and if the ice was not frozen in the cup then it would not fill the whole area.
What does it mean to say that a liquid has a denfinite volume but no denfinite shape?
It means that you can measure the volume of the liquid but you cannot measure the dimensions of it because it will take the dimensions of the container it is in. Example: glass of water - liquid - you can measure how much water is there ice cube - water - solid - you can also measure the dimensions and size of the cube
Why does liquid water take the shape of a sphere?
cube
How ice cube melting is a physical change?
Because it changes from a solid shape (ice cube) to a liquid shape (Water)
How many cubic meter are in 20 feet long cotainer?
If the container's shape is a cube then the volume is 226.53 cubic meters.
A cube is a container that holds liquids?
An example of a cube that can hold liquid is an ice tray. An ice tray is made up of several cubes. Water is poured into these cubes then frozen to help cool drinks.
What makes a cube a cube?
Its shape
How are shapes and volume used to classify solids liquids and gases?
A solid has a definite shape and volume that can be directly measured. A liquid does not have a definite shape, but it does have a measurable volume. A gas has neither a definite volume or shape and will completely fill the container it is in.
