Elasticity is the ratio of the % change in quantity to the % change in price. So if the two are identical, than it is said to be unitary elastic. If quantity changes more than price, then it is said to be elastic. If the quantity changes less than price, then it is said to be inelastic.
Quantity is totally, completely unresponsive to price. Quantity just does not change, regardless of changes in price. This characterization of elasticity is most important for the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply. Perfectly inelastic is one of five elasticity alternatives. The other four are perfectly elastic, relatively elastic, relatively inelastic, and unit elastic.
