Amorphous solids are solids that have an atomic makeup closer to a liquid.

That has the atomic makeup of liquid structure. A non crystalline lattice.

Yes a SOLID liquid.
amorphous solid, any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern.
Like a liquid.

An amorphous material has a liquid atomic structure but does not flow as a fluid.
That is the litteral definition of amorphous materials.
They are classified as a solid liquid or non fluid liquid.

No they are not liquids.
Amorphous solids are liquid solids. Liquids that are not fluid.
amorphous solid is a liquid that does not flow: its atomic structure is disordered like that of a liquid but it is rigid and holds its shape like a solid.

There are way more than 4 states of mater.
Schools teach the wrong shit to keep it super simple. There are 7 states of matter that I'm aware of.
I will die on this hill.
Not all fluids are liquid and not all liquids are fluid. You have non newtonian fluids that are not liquids and you have amorphous solids that have the make up of liquids but are not fluid.

amorphous solid is a liquid that does not flow: its atomic structure is disordered like that of a liquid but it is rigid and holds its shape like a solid. Amorphous materials include silica glass and a multitude of other materials of different origins, such as soft glasses (like concentrated emulsions, mousses and colloidal glasses)

Ok let me use another example.
Glass. Glass is a non fluid liquid.

Wrong.
A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity, i.e., constant viscosity independent of stress. In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid. Ketchup, for example, becomes runnier when shaken and is thus a non-Newtonian fluid.

Liquid is a state of mater. Fluid is a state of movement. Not all fluids are liquid and not all liquids are fluid.

Trying to explain the concept of flat as to curved without using mathematical terms is hard. Flat is a concept, just means non curved. To explain in detail requires a fair bit of knowledge of things like diffent types of geometry and understanding fundamentals of curvatures and Euclidean geometry. Best way to explain flat is paper.

I'm trying to keep it simple. But plz do explain. Without explaining like your talking to a scientist who knows alot of the concepts of space/time.
Edit.
But we both know space isn't flat.
Spacetime is not flat. It can't be: Einstein's general theory of relativity says that matter and energy curve spacetime, and there are enough matter and energy lying around to provide for curvature.

We don't call it 2d we call it flat.
Flat is a concept. That concept is easier to explain using a 2d method.
Flat does not mean 2d. Flat means, in this case, the "thickness" of the universe is so small in relation to the width and length. Like a piece of paper. Paper has a "thickness" like 2mil or .07mil. Some paper is super thin, like tracing paper, and some a bit thicker, like construction paper but its all flat and 3d.
Edits for clarity.

Perspective.
Take a sheet of paper for example, we call it 2d, but it is infact a 3d object. It has 3 dimensions. It's just the thickness is so small in relation to the other dimensions we kinda pretend it isn't there.
We call it flat for lamens purposes. It makes a few things easier to understand on a basic level.
Edit.
Flat doesn't always mean 2d. You can have a flat 3d object. Like paper.

Science named it amorphous solids.
In the most basic sense it's a solid liquid. But that's not conducive to the model so they named it amorphous solid.
It's a solid that is atomicly a liquid or should be according to the standard model of physics. But it's not. So it's an amorphous solid.
