Friction is a force that stops things from sliding apart. It slows things down and stops stationary things from moving. If there is no friction, everything would just slide down to the lowest point. We wouldn't be able to walk without slipping, and the car tires wouldn't stop rolling on the road. Staying still or maintaining a certain position on a surface would be impossible for everything.
