No. A great illustration is glass. The only reason that we can see through glass is because it is a fluid; the proof being that when an eighty year old piece of glass is examined, flow can be detected because the glass sheet is thicker at the bottom.

Why solids are not called fluids?

Wrong, transfer of heat does take place in fluids. In fact it can take place more efficiently in fluids than in solids because convection is possible in fluids.


Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?

Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)
