The size, shape, and arrangement of grains in a rock is known as its texture. Grains can vary in size from fine (small) to coarse (large), and can be rounded or angular in shape. The position of grains within a rock can be random or show preferred orientation.

When grains move closer together when taken out of a sack why do they take the shape of the sack?

I would have thought that once the (dry) grains were removed from the constraints of a sack, gravity would make them spread out. The only other thing would be, is that the grains are moist. This moistness would tend to make them keep in a more upright clump!
