Amorphous = without form; without its own form; can apply to any substance that can be easily molded into various shapes.
Thermoplastic = synthetic substance that can be extruded and/or molded at a higher temperature and will assume and keep the form desired as it cools. Ideally, it should remain in the desired form at a normal room-temperature range.
Example: high- or low-density polyethylene (HDPE or LDPE), the substance used to make such things as zipper-closeable bags (usually LDPE) or those ubiquitous super-thin shopping/grocery bags (HDPE), and numerous other smooth translucent plastic objects.
