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 semisolid medium is a type of growth medium used in microbiology that has a consistency between solid and liquid. It contains a lower concentration of agar compared to solid media, allowing for the growth of organisms that require a more viscous environment to spread and move within the medium. Semisolid media are commonly used for motility and diffusion assays.
Common media used to determine motility and growth patterns of bacteria include agar-based media such as nutrient agar, motility agar, or semisolid agar. These media allow for observing colony morphology, motility (through diffusion in semisolid agar), and growth patterns (e.g., pellicle formation). Additionally, specialized media like SIM (sulfide-indole-motility) agar can be used to detect hydrogen sulfide production, indole production, and motility of specific bacteria.
By a simple observation; also a semisolid substance can flow without any stress.
The semisolid part of the Earth is the mantle, which lies between the Earth's crust and its core. The mantle is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over long periods of time, giving it a semisolid characteristic.
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.
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.

Because it does not inhibit bacteria form "swimming" through the medium.

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??
semisolid

The semisolid mixture of food, acid, and enzymes in the stomach is called chyme.
