Apparently there are 15? I was stuck at solid, liquid, gas and plasma lol

The other ones are pretty exotic.
Einstein-Bose-Condensate is supercooled material where the particles “synchronized” and became a single quantum objects.
Quark-Gluon-Plasma is extremely dense material so that subatomic particles move freely on a kind of soup found after the big bang and maybe in certain stars.
Superfluidity happens when you cool Helium down very far, and makes the material move even through the tiniest cracks, and has no internal friction anymore.
Superconductivity happens in metals and certan ceramics that are so cold that electrons pair up and can suddenly move much more freely when they cancel out each others spin. This makes the material have no electrical resistance.
There are a bunch more but these are the most well known ones. You’ll propably never encounter them on earth outside of a specialized lab
