There are two more states>
Plasma- it's like a superheated gas where atoms get ionized

Bosen Einstein- When a solid is at -273 C or 0 K the atoms stop moving at all.

Fire is the visual manifestation of a chemical reaction involving combustion. The source of the fire may be solid, liquid or gas. The results of combustion in fires involve expansion of gases, release of gases like carbon dioxide, and dispersion of small solid particles. Fire as an entity does not refer to any particular substance but a mixture of matter with the production of heat and light energies in the reaction process.

I think what you mean to say is are there any other "states" of matter. I think glass fits in that catagory. Old windows from castles and cathedrals are found to be thicker at the bottom than the top. Its because it slowly pools, which doesn't fit into a definition of a solid, but the rate it pools is to slow for a definition of a liquid.
What they call this I can't remember or he never told me, or he's full of it.
I do know that the glass is thicker at the bottom in old windows because glass is not a true solid.

Plasma

Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter.

The three other basic phases (solid, liquid, and gas) have other subphases in them (depending). For example, for liquid helium, you can normal fluid and then superfluid.

Solid: A solid holds a rigid shape without a container.
Amorphous solid: A solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms.
Amorphous glassy solid
Amorphous rubbery solid
Crystalline solid: A solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern.
Liquid: A mostly non-compressible fluid. Able to conform to the shape of its container but retaining a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure.
Liquid crystal: Properties intermediate between liquids and crystals. Generally, able to flow like a liquid but exhibiting long-range order.
Gas: A compressible fluid. Not only will a gas conform to the shape of its container but it will expand to fill the container.
Supercritical fluid: At sufficiently high temperatures and pressures the distinction between liquid and gas disappears.
Colloid: A dispersion of a substance in another substance, where both are in any of the solid, liquid or gaseous phases. The properties of the containing substance will tend to predominate.
Plasma: A gas in which electrons can become free of their atoms resulting in a distribution of charges able to conduct electricity.
Superfluid: A phase achieved by a few cryogenic liquids at extreme temperature where they become able to flow without friction. A superfluid can flow up the side of an open container and down the outside. Placing a superfluid in a spinning container will result in quantized vortices.
Supersolid: similar to a superfluid, a supersolid is able to move without friction but retains a rigid shape.
Degenerate matter: found in the crust of white dwarf stars. Electrons remain bound to atoms but are able to transfer to adjacent atoms.
Neutronium: found in neutron stars. Vast gravitational pressure compresses atoms so hard the electrons are forced into the nucleus, resulting in a superdense conglomeration of neutrons. (Normally free neutrons outside an atomic nucleus, will decay with a half life of about 10.4 minutes, but in a neutron star, as in the nucleus of an atom, other effects stabilize the neutrons.)
Strongly symmetric matter: for up to 10-36 seconds after the Big Bang the energy density of the universe was so high that the four forces of nature — strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational — were unified into one single force. As the universe expanded, the temperature and density dropped and the strong force separated, a process called symmetry breaking.
Weakly symmetric matter: for up to 10-12 seconds after the Big Bang the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces were unified.
Bose-Einstein condensate: a phase in which a large number of bosons all inhabit the same quantum state, in effect becoming one single wave/particle.
Fermionic condensate: Similar to the Bose-Einstein condensate but composed of fermions. The Pauli exclusion principle prevents fermions from entering the same quantum state, but by pairing up two fermions can behave as a boson and the pairs can then enter the same quantum state without restrictions.
Quark-gluon plasma: A phase in which quarks become free and able to move independently (rather than being perpetually bound into particles) in a sea of gluons (subatomic particles that transmit the strong force that binds quarks together). May be briefly attainable in particle accelerators.
Strange matter: Also known as quark matter, it may exist inside some particularly large neutron stars.
