The word prefix poly- means many. So with the word polyatomic you have multiple atom types. So a polyatomic ion is an ion with multiple types of atoms in it. A polyatomic ion is composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered as acting as a single unit in the context of acid and base chemistry or in the formation of salts.
