A screw is a type of simple machine that converts rotational motion into linear motion, allowing it to exert force and hold objects together. It consists of a cylindrical shaft with a helical ridge, known as a thread, wrapped around it. When turned, the screw's threads engage with a corresponding surface, pulling the screw into the material and creating tension. This mechanism makes screws effective for fastening and lifting applications.
A machine screw typically has a slotted or Phillips drive whereas a cap screw typically has a socket or torx head.

A screw.
No because a screw is has a top and a winding bottom and a coil does not have a top and has a winding bottom so no a coil is not a simple machine screw.

A wedge. It can be argued, in fact, that a screw is not really a simple machine in itself, as it is really a wedge wrapped around an axle.
Screw jack is a non reversible machine,as it does not return to its original position even after the load is applied
