Because they can flow.
Fluids versus liquidsAll liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. The scientist (or engineer) will make that distinction but the non-scientist frequently doesn't. Fluids flow. They include liquids and gases. Liquids are a type of fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its container. (Gases do that.) Liquid is the second state of matter, between solid and gas.Liquids do not expand, gases do. The main point is that gases and liquids are both fluids.both liquids and gases are 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 :)
Liquids and gases are classified as fluids because they flow and can take the shape of their container. Plasma is also considered a fluid in some contexts due to its ability to flow and conduct electricity.
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
The force that causes the bulk flow of fluids in a system is typically pressure difference. This pressure difference drives the movement of fluids, such as gases and liquids, from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.
No. A fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. All gases are fluids, but not all liquids are fluids. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.
Gases and also liquids are fluids.

A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
The study of liquids at rest called is known as hydrostatics. This a study of the mechanism of fluids which is a branch of physics.

yes
liquids are not fluids because a fluid is a class based on motion not a class based on a state of matter like a liquid.
Fluids. Any substance that has the ability to flow are defined as fluids. Both liquids and gases have the ability to flow and they are collectively termed as fluids. However, very fine solid particles also belong to this category.
Fluids are substances that can flow and have the ability to take on the shape of their container, encompassing liquids, gases, and plasma. Liquids specifically refer to substances that have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. In essence, all liquids are fluids, but not all fluids are liquids.
