Hi , cytoplasmic streaming is actually circulating around in the cell . It moves and by doing do it can help move organelles and harmful/helpful chemicals to where they need to be in the cell , so that's why cytoplasmic streaming is also called active mass movement of cytoplasm.

Because the cytoplasm is actually circulating around in the cell. It's not just a "gel-like" substance that sits statically. It moves and by doing so it can help move organelles and and helpful/harmful chemicals to where they need to be in the cell.
