The very definition of a solid is a substance that has a fixed volume and shape, all solids fall into this category. Sand particles may be able to flow, but each granule itself is solid and won't be able to flow unless it becomes a liquid.

Why do solids have fixed shape and volume while liquids only have fixed volume and gases neither have fixed volume nor fixed shapes. why?

Solids have fixed shape and volume because their particles are densely packed and vibrate in fixed positions. Liquids have fixed volume but not fixed shape because their particles can slide past one another, taking the shape of their container. Gases have neither fixed volume nor shape because their particles are spread out and move freely, filling the entire space available to them.
