Viscosity is the property of the liquid by virtue of which it opposes the relative motion between its different layers.
The resistance to the flow of liquid is also called viscosity.

Is it necessary to apply some driving force to maintain the flow of liquid through pipe?
Yes, it is necessary to apply some driving force to maintain the flow of liquid through the pipe. The viscous force between the different layers of the liquid will retard the motion of the liquid and flow stops after certain distance.
