Water that doesn't sink in but runs across the Earth's surface is called surface water. This includes rivers, streams, creeks, and runoff from rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground.
Runoff
Surface water is water that flows or collects on the Earth's surface, including rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands. It plays a vital role in the hydrological cycle by replenishing groundwater, supporting ecosystems, and providing water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use.

If you were asking what the fresh water is called that flows across the surface of the land, then your answer would be: Runoff is fresh water that flows along the surface of the ground. It originates from precipitation or melting snow and ends up in rivers, lakes, or oceans. A river. I assume you are asking "why" and not "what". Water, like all other matter on earth, is affected by the earths gravity. Gravity has pulled much of the surface water into large pools, we call oceans, that cover the lowest parts of the planet. Fresh water deposited on land by rain, sleet, snow, and hail will follow this same downward path towards the oceans. So I guess the real answer to your question is gravity.
