The wetter the dough the easier it is for the dough to be stretched. When you pull it, the dough will hold its shape. In comparison, a very stiff (low hydration) dough will maintain its shape for a longer period. To visualize this think of your extensible -dough as a balloon. The stiff dough is a car tire. The yeast has a much harder -time inflating the care tire compared to the balloon. That's because the -rubber of the car tire is much more elastic. It requires much more force to -inflate the tire.
