Why does the paper boat move when we put it in the water and we pour a water soup

The paper boat moves when placed in water and poured with a water soup because of buoyancy, surface tension, and fluid dynamics.

The boat floats due to buoyancy, the liquid adheres to the boat's surface because of surface tension, and the flowing liquid creates a current that propels the boat forward.
