These are commonly called "states of matter."
A gas is compressible.
A liquid is much less compressible but cannot put any resistance against a sheer force. You can imagine this as a cylinder of liquid and you grab two points and force them sideways and it moves without any resistive force.
A solid is also not very compressible but if you grab a bar of a solid and try to force each hand in different directions it will not move much.
A plasma is a special state that is so high temperature that the electrons, protons, and neutrons form a gas cloud. This is sort of like a gas but is a very special state that is formed in special circumstances not common in nature.

The official definitions are:
Gas - compessible and cannot withstand a sheer force.
Liquid - only slightly compressible and cannot support a sheer force.
Solid - only slightly compressible and can support a sheer force.

solid :: ice (molecules r bounded tightly no space to move rigid shape)
liquid:: normal water (molecules r losely bounded they can move no definite shape)
Gas:: water vapours (molecules r place at large distance can move very freely)
water has 3 states of matter
