Take a laundry bag and stuff it with clothing. That’s your torso and all of the organs in it. The organs don’t float. They are nice and tightly packed up.
As far as liquid — think of a paper towel that is pretty damp but not dripping. That’s about how much liquid is in between each organ. Just enough so the organs don’t stick to each other and can move as you move.
All of your organs attach to something, they aren’t free floating. For example, your bowels are connected to your abdominal wall through an organ called the mesentery. Your muscles are connected directly to the bones. The heart is held in place by an organ called the pericardium that is attached to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is connected to bones. There are things called ‘connective tissues’ and their job is to hold things in place. So, no, they aren’t held in by fluid, they are held in by web like tissues that are very strong but flexible.
The organs themselves are ‘wet’, more like slimy.
