An amorphous substance is any in which there is no long-range order over the positions of its constituent particles. These particles can be subatomic, atoms, ions, molecules, dust, crystallites, or grains, stones, boulders], or larger debris.
Amorphous substances can fall into the usual categories of solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. But some substances which are amorphous, such as sand are fluids.
