Matter is anything with volume and mass...if it takes up space and has mass and is composed of atoms and molecules it is matter. Radiation comes in many forms that are absorbed in electron transitions at varying rates. For example, in the lower ultraviolet range all the uv from the sun is absorbed in a thin outer layer of your skin. Radiation is a form of energy that reacts with matter, but not a form of matter in and of itself.
