Polyatomic means many atoms, and chemists usually use the term to describe ions which consist of more than one atom. It is not usually applied to chemical bonds. Some covalent bonds are delocalized like the bond in benzene, and these could be described as polyatomic I suppose.

Are covalent bonds polyatomic?
Not necessarily, but all polyatomic bonds are covalent.
Is a metallic bond similar to polyatomic?
Yes, metallic bonds are polyatomic, in the sense that all the atoms in a given piece of metal share a bond, it's not just a bond between adjacent atoms, as in other types of bonding such as ionic or covalent.
What particle is made in a covalent bond?
No particle is made in a bond. A molecule or polyatomic ion is made up of atoms covalently bonded together.
Is AlPO4 a ionic or covalent or both?
ionic bond between aluminium cation and phosphate anion
Which particles in an atom are involved in a covalent bond?
Particles formed from the covalent bonding of atoms are called molecules.
