In Excel, an adjacent cell range is the selection of nearby cell range that is touching another range, but is still a separate range. A non-adjacent cell range is the selection of cell range that is not touching any other cell range. In either case, it can only be when more than one range is selected. After selecting one range, pressing and holding the Ctrl key while selecting a range can select another range.
You could call it highlighting but more commonly you would call it selecting.

The purpose is to do something with those cells. For example, if you want to delete a range of cells; or change the font name or font size; or turn bold on or off; or draw a border around them, you first select the cells, to specify which cells you want to work on.
There is no such thing as a non-contiguous range. A range is a group of cells that are together in a rectangular block. Non-contiguous refers to cells that are not touching. So you can have more than one range which do not touch, so what you have are non-contiguous ranges. It is possible to select non-contiguous ranges by first selecting one range and then while holding the Ctrl key, select other ranges.
Excel will attempt to sum cells by selecting nearby cells which it presumes are the ones to be selected and summed. Usually this will be the cells above. If you select a range of cells and then click the Autosum button it will use the selected cells and sum them, putting the total at the bottom of the column, or it can do it for several columns, giving a total for each.
A Range
Autosum allows you to quickly add values in ranges of cells. If you have a column of numbers and put the cursor on the cell below them and click the Autosum, it will automatically add the cells above it by highlighting the range into the formula. If you try the same thing at the end of a row, it will add those.
