Explanation:

surface tension

-Surface tension is the property among liquids due to which they tend to occupy minimum surface area. That\'s why water droplet appears spherical because for a given volume, a sphere has minimum surface area. Due to this property of surface tension liquid surface stretches and behaves like a stretched membrane.
