Solution

Streamlined body:
A streamlined body is a shape that lowers the friction drag between a fluid, like air and water, and an object moving through that fluid.
  • Fish have streamlined body structure which helps them to move smoothly with the flow of water. Muscles and fins on the body and the tail help to keep the balance.
