That is an easy form to pack, sell, distribute, dose and use in the secundary fine chemical processes, mostly starting with heating up to melt.

Stearic acid is manufactured in pallet form to facilitate handling, storage, and transportation. The pallets make it easier to stack and store the stearic acid in warehouses and during shipping, reducing the risk of damage and improving overall efficiency in handling large quantities of the product.
Yes, stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid that is typically found in a solid form at room temperature. This is because stearic acid molecules can pack closely together, resulting in a solid state.
Glycine, glucose, and stearic acid can form various types of bonds in different contexts. Specifically, glycine can form peptide bonds in proteins, glucose can form glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates, and stearic acid can form ester bonds in lipids.
When stearic acid is added to chloroform, it will likely dissolve in the solvent due to its non-polar nature. The stearic acid molecules will form a homogeneous solution with the chloroform molecules, as both are non-polar compounds.
As stearic acid freezes or solidifies, its particles move closer together and form a regular crystalline structure. The kinetic energy of the particles decreases, causing them to slow down and lock into position. This gives stearic acid its solid form with a more organized and dense arrangement of molecules.
If your room temperature is 70 C then stearic acid would be in a liquid form as its melting point is 69.6 C. For the rest of us humans with a room temperature of around 24 C stearic acid is solid
