what is bipolar thyristor ?

Is it different from a normal SCR or normal thyristor ?

thanks

Seems as a description of a TRIAC.

so why they didn't write it as triac

Maybe it's reference to an SCR made by two cross-connected bipolar transistors.

what's it working then ? what is it actually doing in the circuit ?

thanks

Look at this page at the diagram marked "Equivalent schematic": https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_3/chpt_7/5.html
