A quicksand is solid.
Quicksand is called that because it appears solid until pressure is applied to it, causing it to behave like a liquid. It's called "quick" because it can rapidly engulf someone once they are trapped. Despite sinking slowly, the sensation can create a feeling of helplessness, hence the term "quicksand."
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.

Solid to liquid is known as melting, where a solid substance transitions into a liquid state by absorbing heat energy. Liquid to solid is known as freezing, where a liquid substance transitions into a solid state by releasing heat energy.
Quicksand is a mixture with both solid and liquid components.
Quicksand is a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it can behave like both a liquid and a solid. When undisturbed, quicksand appears solid, but when pressure is applied or it is agitated, it acts like a liquid, causing things to sink in it.
Quicksand is not a liquid, but rather a wet mixture of sand, clay, and water that forms a semi-solid substance. When disturbed, quicksand can behave like a liquid, causing objects or people to sink into it.

Yes, quicksand is a noun. It refers to a wet, loose sand that acts as a liquid when disturbed, trapping anything that enters it.

The general classes of colloids are sols (solid particles dispersed in a liquid), gels (cross-linked networks of solid particles dispersed in a liquid), and emulsions (liquid droplets dispersed in another liquid).
