You are right, they do not.

It probably is, but take my word it won't be easy.

These two questions probably have the same answer. You can use a mesh
to make your blob-like object, and using a mesh, you can make a
physical simulation with surface tension, volume preservation and
whatever else you can think of. Take my word on this as well, it's
even harder :)

What's the correct way to smooth a blob?
