collection of adjacent cells, rows, or columns
An adjacent range in Excel refers to a collection of cells that are continuous and next to each other, forming a single rectangular block. In contrast, a collection of separate ranges that are not touching would be considered non-adjacent ranges. Non-adjacent ranges can be selected by holding down the Ctrl key while selecting different cells or ranges. Understanding the distinction between these types of ranges is essential for effective data manipulation and analysis in Excel.
An adjacent group of cells are known as a range or a block. There is no particular name for a group of non-adjacent cells.
Yes a range is two or more adjacent cells and they can be in rows or columns or both. A range is always rectangular in shape.

A Range
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.
a range
A range is a series of two or more adjacent cells in a column or a rectangular group of cells in a spreadsheet. This range can be used for calculations, formatting, or referencing data in the cells.
A range is a collection of cells (e.g. A1:A4 is the range of the cells from A1 to A4).
A range can only be cells that are adjacent and in a rectangular shape. It is possible to select non-adjacent cells but this would not be regarded as a range. Each would be a separate range. So usually non-adjacent ranges will have gaps between them, although it is possible to have cells from to separate ranges right beside each other. You will know them by their boundaries around them.
They are called a range or sometimes a block.
