A solid body guitar is just that, the body of the guitar is made of solid wood, some time one piece or a few, with no sound holes. A semi-hollow body guitar is made more like an acoustic guitar but more shallow, usually with sound holes off to the side rather than in the center as an acoustic guitar would. These sound holes are often in the shape of an "F."
An acoustic is a guitar that is hollow, and has a large hole in the body to create the nice sounds that an acoustic makes. A solid body guitar does not have a hole, and is not hollow. It uses pickups instead of a hole and is usually a lot smaller.
It can be both.
A hollow body guitar is a guitar with a hollow body in contrast to solid body guitars. They are generally lighter that solid body guitars because its body mass is reduced as a result of the addition of sound chambers.
The body of a guitar is hollow to allow sound to resonate within it.
Actually some electrics are hollow bodied or semi hollow bodied. This is done for tonallity. Otherwise, they will still plug into an amp and play just like a regular solid body guitar would. Ibanez made the Artcore line which is hollow and Semi hollow. Fender Stratocasters, Gibson Les Pauls and SG's etc. are all solid body guitars. With the hollow body the resonance and sustain seem to improve; if you're looking to buy, go play both kinds of rigs on the same amp and see what fits your taste more!
what is the difference between solid and hollow?

hollow
It can be both.
A semi-hollow body guitar has a hollow chamber in the body, while a solid body guitar is made of a single piece of wood with no chambers. The hollow chamber in a semi-hollow body guitar gives it a warmer, more resonant sound compared to the brighter and more sustained sound of a solid body guitar. The semi-hollow body guitar is also lighter and more prone to feedback, while the solid body guitar is heavier and less prone to feedback, offering different playability experiences for musicians.
The main difference between a Starcaster and a Stratocaster guitar is their design and construction. The Starcaster is a semi-hollow body guitar with a unique shape and sound, while the Stratocaster is a solid body guitar with a more traditional design and tone. Additionally, the Stratocaster is a more popular and widely used model compared to the Starcaster.

A semi-hollow guitar has a hollow body with a center block, while a solid guitar is made of a single solid piece of wood. The semi-hollow design gives a warmer, more resonant sound with some feedback resistance, while solid guitars have a brighter, more sustained sound. Semi-hollow guitars are lighter and have a more acoustic-like tone, while solid guitars are heavier and offer more sustain and clarity. The choice between the two depends on personal preference and the style of music being played.

Because guitar have been hollow for centuries, so the solid body guitar was something completely new at the time of its invention
There are both types. As well as semi-hollow but most electric guitars are solid and are also called 'solidbody'
