A solution cannot be physically seperated.
A suspension still is seperate. Imagine raisins in the pudding. You could filter them out or centrifuge them out.
A colloid is a type of suspension. I've heard the expression used of a 'colloidal suspension'. A colloid is like a cloud that forms in the mother liquor. The cloud forms because their are solids that have either come out of solution or disolved from an organized solid into a disorganized solid. Even though it lost its larger solid form, it is still chemically seperate from the solution.
