Something that is solid but not completely solid, like Jello. A semi-solid can be a cream, an ointment, a gel or a lotion. Semisolids have some properties of solids, and some properties of liquids.
A semi solid colloid is a gellike substance. It is not a liquid or solid but rather something different altogether.
gel
By a simple observation; also a semisolid substance can flow without any stress.
Gel
Agar is added in a concentration of 1.5% to solidify liquid media. Although there are different concentrations of agar used to create different conditions such as in Sabouraud's Agar and semisolid agar.
jelly is a gel or a semisolid
The chemical composition is different.
Semisolid media contains a 1.5% concentration of agar, which is used to grow and select isolated colonies. Semisolid media contains agar at a lower concentration (around 0.4%,) which is used for motility studies.
solid, semisolid, liquid
Because it does not inhibit bacteria form "swimming" through the medium.
By a simple observation; also a semisolid substance can flow without any stress.
Semisolid drugs are often used for topical application. These drugs are soft and pliable. Semisolid drugs include creams, ointments, most plasters, and dry-powder aerosols. I am not sure about gels?
Petroleum jelly is a semisolid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. I do not know what Peteroluem jelly is, maybe a semisolid mixture of Peters??

rheocasting is the process of making semisolid microstructure billet directly form liquid metal with the help of stirrer while thixocasting is the process of making billet by reheating the semisolid microstructure billet and once it reached to semisolid state then forge it in die to get the required billet
