Glass is an amorphous solid. Like liquids, amorphous
solids have a tendency to flow, though very slowly.
Therefore, sometimes these are called pseudo solids or super
cooled liquids.

Antique windowpanes are thicker at the bottom, because glass has flowed to the bottom over time. Glass has no crystalline structure, hence it is NOT a solid. Glass is a supercooled liquid. Glass is a liquid that flows very slowly.

Glass is sometimes called a supercooled liquid because it does not form a crystalline structure, but instead forms an amorphous solid that allows molecules in the material to continue to move. However, Scientific American indicates that amorphous solids are neither supercooled liquids nor solids.

Hence glass is considered a super cooled liquid and that becomes the reason why the glass windows become slightly thicker at the bottom that at the top over a period of time.Explanation: All amorphous solids have tendency to flow as rubber, plastic.
