The trap is a P or S shaped bend in the drain pipe which retains water to block gases from coming out of the drain. Traps are located under the sink, under a shower or bath tub, and they are formed into the drain path of the toilet.

Should there be water in the drain in the shower?

You probably shouldent "see" water in the drain, but there is a "P" trap under the drain.The "P" trap holds water @ all times,this keeps exhaust fumes from coming into the living space.if water is not draining properly you may have some restictions ie:hair,soap,or some other debris. Yes there should be. I think it is to keep sewer gases from coming up. If it overflows, or is slow to drain, you may have a clogged pipe.
