polydactyl simply means that one is born with more than 5 digits on either hand or feet.

No. Polydactyly is hereditary. There is not hereditary info for being born with less fingers. This is a genetic mutation.

No, polydactyly is having 6 fingers or toes on each hand or foot not 6 fingers or toes altogether.
