A solid is one of three common states of matter. Your other two are gas and liquid. A gas is a free flowing fluid that fills the entire volume of it's container. (undefined volume and undefined shape)

a liquid is a free flowing fluid that does not fill the entire volume of it's container, but rather formes to it's shape. (Set volume and undefined shape

A solid is a form of matter that has a set volume and a set shape. It is not a fluid and it does not flow freely.

Examples: rocks, trees, tables, cups, pencils, etc...
