Viscosity
Main difference between solids and fluids in that fluids can not withstand shearing forces.
For solids: Shearing stress is proportional to deformation or strain
For fluids: Shearing stress is proportional to rate of deformation or strain -rate
The constant of proportionality is called Viscosity.
