Rockets are designed with their shapes due to aerodynamics. In plain terms, it is because of the force of the air on the rocket as they travel through it. For a simple experiment, stick your hand out of the window of a moving car and see how the force of the 'wind' on your hand changes as you make different shapes with your hand.

∙ 12y agoRockets are rocket shaped because of the aerodynamics (the passing of air and other gases around an object) to get the rocket to certain speeds. If it weren't that shape, (say that it was a box instead) it would produce too much drag to accelerate with the current amount of power that rockets use today. You would need more power to launch that rocket and we are trying to be as sparing with energy as possible.
