Cleavage means to cut anything in a two or more significant parts, so it is a property which makes the solids cuttable or breakable in simple pieces.A crystalline solid gives similar structures after cleavage while the amorphous solids do not have any planned structure so they give irregular or insignificant pieces after cleavage. So, the property of ideal cleavage is not shown by amorphous solid.

clevage in case solids means cutting it may be with the knife or any thing. the crystalline solids on cutting give the piece with perfect shape i.e regular shape where as the asmorphous solids give irregular shape on cleavage.
