It keeps your feet in place.
Standing friction is the resistance that must be overcome to start an object in motion from a stationary position. It is the force that opposes the initial movement of an object when it is at rest. Standing friction is also known as static friction.
No, friction is not required for standing straight. Gravity and the interaction between your body and the ground provide the necessary support to maintain an upright position without the need for friction.
Starting, or static, friction is greater than sliding friction in general. Static friction requires force to be overcome as the object rests on a surface due to its roughness. The roughness is a bunch of small contact points under high stress that resists motion; once this resistance is overcome, the object moves and its velocity allows the surface to glide over the rough spots more easily . This sliding friction is thus a little lower than static friction
No, the coefficient of friction can vary based on the contact surface area and material properties of the block. When the block is standing on its larger (or smaller) end, the contact surface area and the weight distribution changes, which can affect the coefficient of friction.
Without friction an object in motion would continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Friction in this case is providing traction, so you can actually resist sliding. Shower mats increase friction, and reduce sliding. This friction is caused by physical imperfections within the two surfaces (feet & shower mat) when in contact with each other.

how does friction help car tyres?
static is standing still, and rolling is movement. static is the friction that prevents the object from moving, rolling is the friction that slows down the object while it is motion.
No. your not sliding when you give a hug you are standing or else sitting.

No; friction decreases gas mileage.

I never heard of friction reducing friction. You can reduce friction by using lubricants, as well as using wheels (as in ball bearings).
