A polyhedron is a closed figure with several (planar) sides, and all its sides are planar. A non polyhedron does not have these properties, maybe it is not closed, maybe one or more of the sides is a curved surface. In some branches of topology the sides of a polyhedron cannot intersect each other.

What is the difference between a geometric solid than a polyhedron?

A polyhedron is in a subclass of geometric solids. The difference is that a polyhedron must have flat faces and straight edges.


What is the difference between a polyhedron and a non-polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices, such as cubes and pyramids. In contrast, a non-polyhedron includes shapes that do not fit this definition, such as spheres, cylinders, and cones, which have curved surfaces and do not consist entirely of flat faces. Essentially, the key difference lies in the presence of flat polygonal faces in polyhedra versus the curved surfaces in non-polyhedra.
