They are not! the atoms of any liquid are held so tight that can can just slide over each other. infact you cannot compress them simply because the force of repulsion between the atoms will not allow them to come more closer. take a situation , if you pressurise a liquid with a piston, what will happen? do it of your own u'll get to know if they are compressible or not.
and if they had to be y should we be using pipelines to transport oil, we should have compressed forms in a container and should have transported them in that way.. it should have saved our money as well!

Solids cannot be compressed at all.Liquids cannot be compressed because when a force is applied the liquid particles have no room between they to move around, whereas gas particles are free to move because they have a lots of room between them to move around in.
