Reply to comment by WinBarr86 in ELI5- what is the difference between a liquid and a fluid? by stinkybuttttt
Amorphous solids are not liquid. They are amorphous solid. They have properties of both solids and liquids, but they are neither.
There are far more than 7 states, and it is pretty likely that any list you or I or an expert in the field could come up with would be incomplete 20 years from now.
You are dying on the hill of 'There are more than four states of matter, but we must place everything in one of those states'

Amorphous solids are solids that have an atomic makeup closer to a liquid.
