### Description

Transverse spherocity is a tool that separates events based on geometrical shapes, i.e., jetty and isotropic events. Transverse spherocity based studies are widely understood in small systems like proton-proton (pp) collisions in simulations and experiments, but it is yet to be explored in heavy-ion collisions. In this work, we attempt to study different global observables in heavy-ion collisions such as squared speed of sound, Bjorken energy density and kinetic freeze-out properties for different centrality classes as a function of transverse spherocity. This study has been carried out using a multi-phase transport model (AMPT) in Pb-Pb collisions at $\rm\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV. Contrary to pp collisions where jetty events are dominated, heavy-ion collisions are found to be dominated by isotropic events. Squared speed of sound and Bjorken energy density are found to be insensitive to transverse spherocity. In contrast, kinetic freeze-out properties such as transverse radial flow velocity and kinetic-freezeout temperature are found to be susceptive to transverse spherocity.
