Welcome to the forums. Most of the time, it's up to the app developer if they choose to support moving app data to the SD card. Usually, only a small amount of data can be moved. What apps are you trying to move?

Re: My Samsung A9 (SM-A9000) Hong Kong Model

I can't move anything from the internal memory to the SD card since it didn't even indicate the moving function.
Does it mean that I have to root the phone in order to move apps as well as data (such as musics, photos, etc...) into the sd card? Many thanks for your help.

No, that means that, since moving apps to the SD card is such a bad idea, at least one manufacturer has removed the ability to do it. It's not a function that requires root access, so rooting the phone won't change anything. (That's assuming that you set your SD card up as portable storage or weren't given the option. If you set it up as adoptable [internal] storage, there is no logical "external" SD card, the card is logically part of internal storage.
