Vesicular basalt has small rounded voids called vesicules formed by the molten rock cooling and freezing around pockets of gas. It looks a lot like a rock hard sponge. Non vesicular basalt is a normal solid rock.

What is the difference between a vesicular igneous rock and a nonvesicular igneous rock?

Vesicular rocks contain lots of small cavities, usually filled with air. Non- vesicular ones don't have these holes. Vesicles are formed when magma suddenly rushes out on to the surface and its dissolved gases come out of solution, blowing bubbles in the liquid rock which are preserved as it cools quickly and sets. An example of a vesicular rock is pumice.
