Because a solid is.. well, solid. Liquids morph, because they aren't "hard"
Liquids adopt the shape of the part of the container that they occupy. Gases adopt the entire shape and volume of their container.
Liquids and gases share the property of changing shape in different containers. Liquids take the shape of their containers due to their ability to flow and conform to the shape of the container. Gases also fill the space of their container, taking its shape as they expand to fill the available volume.
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, while liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and expand to fill their container.
The two states of matter that are considered fluids are liquids and gases. Both have the ability to flow and change shape to fit their containers.
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
Only solids have a definite shape. Neither liquids nor gases have a definite shape.Only solids have a definite shape.

Liquid and gas can flow and change shape to fit their containers, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases can also be easily compressed or expanded, which is difficult for solids to do.
Liquids yes, gasses yes, solids no

I can only tell you that gases are does not have a difinite shape and volume . E.g air / nitrogen / carbon dioxide / water vapour / . . .
The molecules of liquids and gasses are not tightly arranged or packed. It is due to this arrangement they can move freely. Thus, take the shape of the container. Whereas in solids the molecules are tightly arranged they don't have place to move. Thus ,they don't take the shape of the container.
Liquids and gases are both considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. They both have the ability to move and are not held in a fixed shape like solids. Additionally, both liquids and gases can expand and contract based on changes in temperature and pressure.
Solids have a set volume. Liquids have a set volume. Gases do not have a set volume. Why? Solids are solids. They don't move. They're in a 'frozen state' as is. Liquids 'mold' to the shape of their container and they stay there. Gases are free to go anywhere. Always moving and 'flying.'
