Why are biscuits quick bread?
Quick breads such as muffins, unlike yeast breads, can be baked immediately after the ingredients are mixed. In other words, there is no need to wait for leavening to occur before baking the muffins because they rise during baking. Therefore, they are relatively quick to make. Yeast breads on the other hand require a lot of time for leavening before baking and are much more time consuming.Source: "Understanding Food" by Amy Brown

OK, there are two different kinds of breads quick breads and yeast breads. Yeast breads are leavened, made to rise, by yeast. There are a couple different kinds of yeast fresh, instant dry active and one more I can't remember. Quick breads are leavened by what are called chemical leaveners. Ex. baking powder and baking soda. Biscuits can be leavened by the acid in buttermilk. Then there is steam. A popover is leavened by the steam created when it is put into a very hot oven. Cakes are mainly leavened by baking powder or baking soda. A Genois is leavened by the air incorporated during mixing. The only ingredients in a Genois are eggs, sugar, and flour. Sometimes salt. The eggs and sugar are heated over a water bath and then whipped until they triple in volume. It is the air formed when the eggs are whipped that causes this cake to rise.

In yeast breads, salt limits the action of yeast by killing it. If you have too much salt, you might kill the yeast too quickly. The bread might also taste salty. In quick breads (those that rise with baking soda and/or baking powder), salt is used to add flavor, so too much salt will just make the bread taste more salty.
