it is the pressure that liquid does on the bodies in side it
the liquid has a weight and this weight pushes bodies inside the liquid down
this is called the pressure of the liquid

Pressure in open systems causes liquid to Flow faster, depending on constant volume - could be pipe... Or a Water tank, where there will be Hydro Static pressure, due to the weight of the liquid,, the lower/deeper, the greater Force per unit area...
Guess u are talking of closed system, that's tricky,, since most liquids are non-compressible, u have a relationship between Pressure, Volume, density, viscosity and Temperature - giving birth to HYDRAULICS...
All from Pressure in liquids.. basically, it is Transmitted - that is the principle behind it...

force per unit area of whatever container it is in.
Pounds per square inch ... PSI is one measure.
Pressure in anything is force per unit area, does not change just because it is liquid. Think hydraulics!
