Polynomials are not closed under division because dividing one polynomial by another can result in a quotient that is not a polynomial. Specifically, when a polynomial is divided by another polynomial of a higher degree, the result can be a rational function, which includes terms with variables in the denominator. For example, dividing (x^2) by (x) gives (x), a polynomial, but dividing (x) by (x^2) results in (\frac{1}{x}), which is not a polynomial. Thus, the closure property does not hold for polynomial division.
