What type of force does the wheel reduce?

A wheel reduces friction by allowing the contacting surfaces to roll rather than to drag or slide over each other. When wheels are used, rolling friction starts acting instead of kinetic friction. Thus the frictional force acting on the wheel would be less. Therefore, because of less friction, to travel freely, wheels are used.
