I'm pretty sure there's an error in the ST, as quoted. It should surely read: "points, lines, polygons ..."
In systems for the 2D and 3D representation of spaces and volumes, the most common elementary forms used to define the shape/volume are: points, lines, polylines and polygons. A line is a single-segment straight line defined by its 2 end points, or a simple arc defined by three points (centre of radius and 2 end points, or any point on the arc plus the 2 end-points).
polylines (not mentioned in the ST extract) are formed by a set of 2 or more lines, joined end-to-end. A polygon is any 2D shape formed by a set of 3 or more lines (usually but not necessarily) straight, in which the terminal point of the last line coincides with the start point of the first one (i.e., it enclosea a space).
In many years working with these systems, I have never come across "point line" to mean an elementary drawing entity in any way comparable with 'line' or 'polygon' - and it would in any case be self-contradictory (a point, by definition, has no length).
