What's the logic behind "походить"?
Why does походить mean to be similar in appearance to"? When would you use the verb and when would you use the adjective "похожий"? I don'y quite get the logic being why a motion verb means to be similar in appearance. Is it possible to say "Он походит на отца"?how is that different from "он похож на отца"?

Походить means to resemble.
One can use a verb "Он походит на отца" (He resembles his father) or an adjective "Он похож на отца" (He is like his father). Both ways are correct and mean the same.
