Closed-form expressions, I guess?
"For example, if one adds polynomial roots to the basic functions, the functions that have a closed form are called elementary functions."
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the table says that the "root of a polynomial that is not an algebraic solution" doesn't count as closed-form.
