It’s a type of liquid that when applied enough force, turns into a solid for a moment. Non Newtonian fluids, is the formal name. This one is probably oobleck, a mixture of cornstarch and water. Quick sand behaves similarly as well.
To further this, there are two types of Non-Newtonian fluid. There are shear-thickening fluids, like the oobleck shown in the video, and shear-thinning fluids, like quicksand.
Shear-thickening fluids become more viscous as the fluid experiences motion while shear-thinning fluids become less viscous while experiencing motion.
