It's the easiest and most energy-efficient shape for gravitational forces to create, as all points are equidistant from the center.
However, you will get bulges at the equator due to the earth's rotation, so it's not perfectly round.

To a first-order approximation the Earth is round. This
is due to gravity. Gravity pulls with equal strength in all
directions; therefore any variations from a spherical
shape will lead to gravitational forces that
bring the shape back into that of a sphere.
This is without considering the rotation of the earth,
however. The rotation of the earth adds centrifugal
effects, which cause the earth to bulge slightly at
its equator and flatten slightly at its poles.
(This is like twirling a rock on the end of a string
and then letting go--the rock flies away from the
twirler.) Because of these centrifugal effects, the
distance from the center of the earth to the surface
of the earth is about 0.33% shorter at the poles
compared to the equator.

Because of the spiraling nature of things. Not just going around in an orbit. The Earth itself spins on an axis, and there are 12 vortexes, (spirals of energy), at work on our world.
We see the Lifeforce as coming down from above. But I think
the Source of Life is actually in the Center of things. Draw
a circle with a dot in the middle. If power flows from the center outward, it takes on the pyramid shape. Thus the significance
of the 3, and power in the pyramid, triangle shape.
And spinning clock-wise being with nature, and counter-clockwise, against nature.

Einstein explained gravity as being the warping of space in the vicinity of mass. According to Einstein, mass curves space around itself into a spherical shape. The shape is spherical because it emanates outward from the center of the mass (in this case - the Earth) in all directions equally. Therefore the earth's shape is simply the expression of this spherical gravitational field.

Simply there are two points:
Scientific point of view:
as any other shape affected with equal force in all directions. it will take a round shape. Gravity pulls with equal strength in all directions.... but there is a light bulge at its equator and flatten slightly at its poles due to its rotation.
Logical point :
the earth must be round. in order not to fall from its edge if it took other shape :D

The world is a sphere because that is the shape taken by a 3 dimensional object that has forces applied upon it in all directions.

if the world was flat, you'd be able to steal everything that goes around. but it is round and gravity used, so that you can't go to the stars and steal ahead. just like people steal on earth and get away with it.

The sphere is the most economical geometric form.
