Answer:

Cornstarch and water mixed acts both like a solid and a liquid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cornstarch and water is a suspension mixture with a solid dispersed into a liquid. When you press the mixture quickly, the starch molecules close together. This causes the water to get trapped between the starch chains and create a semi-rigid structure.

The corn starch and water will stay separated and eventually sit in the glass as layers. This is due to the 2 fluids having different densities far enough from one another that the fluids do not mix.
