A pansexual (pan meaning "all"), in terms of sexual orientation, is someone with the capacity to be attracted to someone regardless of their sex, including those who may be transgendered/transsexual/etc.

A polysexual (poly meaning "many"), in terms of sexual orientation, is someone with the capacity to be attracted to many genders, but not necessarily all of them.

Pansexual refers to being attracted to people regardless of their gender identity, while polysexual refers to being attracted to multiple genders but not necessarily all. Pansexual individuals may be attracted to people who identify as male, female, non-binary, or any other gender identity, while polysexual individuals may be attracted to some but not all gender identities.

Is someone bisexual if they are polysexual or pansexual?

This is a widely debated subject, especially the definition of these labels. If someone identifies as bisexual, (a widely accepted definition of bisexuality is not just being attracted to men and women, but rather: a bisexual person is someone who has in themselves "the potential to be attracted - romantically and/or sexually - to people of more than one sex and/or gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree.") then they are polysexual (meaning someone who is attracted to many genders), but not everyone will identify as this. Pansexual has a few definitions too: Being attracted to people of all genders. Being attracted to people regardless of gender. Some people will only claim one label, but some will claim all three or none; the possibilities are many, but it is for the individual to decide what they want to call themselves. One thing all these labels have in common is that they all fit under the umbrella term of Bi+ (Bisexual+) a term that includes bisexual, pansexual, fluid and queer and other orientations which are not strictly monosexual.
