But it doesn't have a definite shape as solids are suppose to have.

Why is it because paper can change shape which is not the definition of a solid?

Yes it is. It doesn't flow or take the shape of a container. It's rigid and does not "splash" or slowly melt (like silly putty).

Solid is a state of matter that holds its own shape (as opposed to a liquid, which takes up the shape of its container or gas, which completely fills up its container). Don't you think paper is a solid since it does not go on changing its shape in accordance with its container

Yes. It has a shape that has volume and is constant. It is certainly not gas or liquid, therefore it is a solid. @8-)

It's not a gas or liquid, so it's clearly a solid.
