Static Friction is the force that keeps an object at rest
example: pushing against a heavy box but it isnt moving due to the weight of the box and gravity pulling it down

Rolling friction is a resistive force that slows down something thats rolling such as a ball or a wheel
example: a rolling soccer being slowed down from grass

Sliding Friction is the friction created from two object sliding against eachother, just like kinetic friction. It is intended to make the object stop
example: A sled sliding down a hill against snow

Fluid Friction is the force that resist motion in fluid or something moving around a fluid.
example: water pushing against a swimmer when swimming through it
