fluid
Takes container's shape
Fluid describes something that flows—liquids and gases are fluids, distinguished from solids by their ability to move and change shape.
The word extends to anything similarly flowing or changeable: a fluid motion, fluid boundaries, a fluid situation.
Fluid can also mean not fixed or settled: The plans are still fluid.
Gender fluid describes identity that shifts rather than remaining constant.
