What is the difference between hominid and hominoid?

if we are talking about the features then hominoids have a smaller brain.. Hominoids are quadrupeds,walking on all fours but with flexible forelimbs... whereas Hominids have an upright posture and bipedal locomotion. apes belong to hominoid.. and human are in the hominid category..

Hominids are included in the superfamily of all apes, the Hominoidea, the members of which are called hominoids. Although the hominid fossil record is far from complete, and the evidence is often fragmentary, there is enough to give a good outline of the evolutionary history of humans.

basically - Hominids are the biological family of which humans are a member. Informally, they are known as the Great Apes, and include four genera: humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.

it referred only to humans and our extinct close relatives, and this old definition sometimes persists to today. "Hominid" means "human-like".
