Hi Aspirant!
Amorphous solids are defined as the non-crystalline solids in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Such solids include glass, plastic, and gel.
Super cold liquid is a liquid below its freezing point that has not crystalized to freeze. Basically, the process of chilling a liquid below its freezing point, without it becoming solid causes the formation of super cold liquid such as glass.
Pseudo solid are those types of solids which have appearance as solid but still they act like liquid like they have a tendency to flow which is quite slow and it is so slow that you can't observe it with naked eye. So, we can say that they have very high viscosity. For example Glass.
>> The above statement can be justified by taking the example of Glass, as glass does not have any specific crystalline structure and has the tendency to flow which makes it a psuedo- solid. Also, when glass is made, the material is quickly cooled from its liquid state but does not solidify when its temperature drops below its melting point, making it a super cold liquid.
