Try it and look closely. You'll see why. (If you can't: it's because that leaves a stripe down one side of the funnel, all the way to the point of the cone, where liquid can go straight through without passing through the filter paper at all.)
Substance may remain in the funnel during filtration due to clogging of the filter paper by fine particles, improper wetting of the filter paper before filtration, or insufficient pressure to facilitate the filtration process. Additionally, some substances may have a tendency to stick to the filter paper or be insoluble in the solvent being used for filtration, leading to retention in the funnel.
Though there are exceptions, it is usually an open-top, glass funnel.
Büchner funnel, filter paper, flask or beaker.
It is a glass funnel into which can be placed a circle of folded filter paper (so that it too is the shape of the funnel) liquids may then be poured into the funnel and while the liquids will drain through (to be collected at the base of the funnel), any solids will be retained on the paper.
The liquid, called the filtrate, passes through the filter funnel and is collected in the beaker below. The solid particles that are left behind on the filter paper make up the residue.
Its because of the very natural gravity of the earth.
Wet filter paper adheres better to the funnel.
A filter funnel is a laboratory funnel used for separating solids from liquids via the laboratory process of filtering.
A filter paper is typically held in a funnel during filtration. The funnel is often placed in a ring stand or held by a clamp to support it during the filtration process.
A filter funnel is a very common laboratory glassware used for the separation of substances by filtering.
To make pouring liquids easier, and, when filter paper is placed in a funnel, it is used as a filter.
Holding a filter funnel.
A filter funnel is used to separate liquids and solids in a laboratory. It is used in the filtering process by folding a disk shaped filter paper into a cone an putting it in the funnel. Liquid will pass through but solids will not.

Filters used in chemical laboratories are made using filter paper; this is a flat circular paper disk. The paper is folded into a cone and placed inside a funnel to support it. The funnel needs to be kept upright and a filter stand is used to support the funnel by placing it in a ring on the end of an arm on the stand.
A filter funnel is used in science to separate solids from liquids. By pouring a mixture of solid and liquid into the funnel with filter paper, the liquid can pass through the paper while the solid is retained, allowing for the separation of the two components.
