No. By definition a polyhedron has to have faces (flat surfaces), edges, and vertices. A sphere, hemisphere, and a cylinder are all solids but are not polyhedra.

Is every polyhedron a regular soild?

No, not every polyhedron is a regular solid. A regular solid, also known as a Platonic solid, is a polyhedron with all faces being congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. In contrast, polyhedra can have irregular shapes, varying face types, and different vertex configurations, making them distinct from regular solids. Examples of non-regular polyhedra include cubes, pyramids, and prisms that do not meet the criteria of regular solids.
