Wire can be fabricated in two different forms. Solid wire refers to a single wire, while stranded wire is a wire which is made up of more than one single solid wire twisted together. A stranded wire is much more flexible, and less subject to breaking from flexing than a stranded wire of the same size.

Does ground wire need to be a solid wire?
No
What is a non-concentric wire?
Non-Concentric wire is solid wire.
Solid wire vs stranded ground wire on a 200 amp service which one do you use on my home?
Stranded wire is the choice as you have tight bends and a short run, solid wire isn't very good in this format.
What solid and multi-stranded cables?
A given crosssection or diameter of the conductor can be obtained by a single strand wire or with many smaller diameter wires put together. For example a 4 sqmm wire can be one solid wire of 4sqmm or can comprise many smaller diameter wires twined together. A solid wire is more rigid whereas multistrand wire is flexible. A solid wire may not need a terminating lug, whereas a multistrand wire needs a terminal lug for termination / connection to a terminal block
Can you splice solid copper wire to stranded copper wire?
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
Why are motors wired with solid wire?
Most motors aren't wired with solid wire. Typically only alternators or electric motors have solid wire.
