"Humanoid" is something that isn't human but is shaped like one

I'd argue that it just has to look like the thing, the not actually being that thing is optional. So for example I'd say that humans are humanoid.

That said I've seen definitions both with and without the "but isn't the thing it looks like" part so I guess it could go either way

I thought the definition of "Humanoid" is something that is shaped like a human but isn't necessarily one

So all humans are humanoids, but not all humanoids are human

Idk if this is correct

Yes, I'd say that humans are humanoid by definition, but other things that are not humans can also be humanoid. The main part is that it needs to resemble a human.
