Why virus transmit from one body to other?

Viruses can be transmitted from one body to another through various ways such as direct contact with body fluids (like blood or saliva), respiratory droplets from coughs or sneezes, or through contaminated surfaces. The virus needs to find a way to enter the new host's body, typically through mucous membranes like the eyes, nose, or mouth.
