liquid

Water, for example

Liquid describes matter that flows freely—water, oil, blood.

Unlike solids, liquids take the shape of their container; unlike gases, they maintain constant volume.

Liquid assets can be quickly converted to cash.

A liquid market has enough trading activity that buying and selling happen easily.

Liquid eyes are clear and bright, suggesting moisture.
