I believe they call it that because when u freeze a liquid it turns into a solid with high viscosity and glass is the same thing.

What type of Glass?
Glass is an amorphous or transparent solid. Glass is also called supercooled liquid. Types of glasses are : soft glass, hard glass, crook's glass, jena glass, glass laminates
A sample of glass is a supercooled liquid rather than a true solid?
It has no crystallized structure
What are super-cooled liquids?
I know it sounds a little stupid, but supercooling is when water remains a liquid while it is below freezing point. Note, only some waters can do this.
Which liquid turns solid on heating?
A supercooled liquid can become solid on heating.
What is liquid glass?
Liquid glass is Sodium Silicate also known as water glass.
Who among ice cream Teflon glass mercury is the supercooled liquid?
Glass is a super cooled liquid .
What type of Glass?

What is water that stays liquid form at temperature below freezing called?
Supercooled.
What is a mineral used for making glass?
The two main constituents of glass are : Silicon Dioxide , Sodium Carbonate. Alumina or borosilicate are added depending on the nature of the glass required. Glass is a 'supercooled' liquid. , that is a liquid below its natural freezing point. Supercooled liquids do not have a crystalline structure, which pure solids have. However, glass if left for long periods of time (hundreds of years) may start to 'cloud', this is the crystals forming from the supercooled liquid.

It has no crystallized structure
Is a glass known as supercooled liquid because its structure is similar to ice?
Glass is normally a solid. It does not have a supercooled liquid phase because to be supercooled it must go well below its freezing point. glass is the silicates of sodium or potassium and calcium these units are linked together as water molecule in ice, and glass do not has a sharp melting point but a range of temperature in which it becomes soft and finally decomposes the temperature at which glass starts softning is known as its softning point during softning process it behaves as ice melts so it is supposed to be a supercooled liquid.

What is it glass liquid called?
Liquid glass is sodium metasilicate, Na2SiO3. (Wikipedia)
What liquids can be supercooled?
Only helium can become a supercooled liquid. Any other substance will solidify at the temperature needed to create a superfluid.
What are the types of glass?
Some of the more common ones are soda-lime glass (window glass), Wheeling (moldable) glass, borosilicate glass (Pyrex), and quartz (hard) glasses. Your question doesn't make it clear if you're thinking of types in an industrial, architectural, or technical sense.
Which liquid turns solid on heating?
A supercooled liquid can become solid on heating.
What is glass classified as?
Glass is created when sand is heated to high temperatures glass is basically an amorphous solid ( Not Supercooled Liquid) formed by melt quenching technique. It may contain sand (silica) but can also be formed using different glass forming oxide/sulfide.
