Ply refers to the number of strands a yarn is composed of. The term ply is misleading. Some people assume that the more plys a yarn has, the thicker it is. Not true. Some bulky yarns have only 2 plys and some multi-ply yarns are as thin as baby/fingering weight. It is better to look for yarn in terms of weight such as baby, sport, worsted, bulky, super-bulky. These refer to the thickness. This is also how most yarns are labeled.
Viscose yarn is yarn made from a cellulose base. It has a number of properties including a high tensile strength that can make it suitable for knitting and crocheting projects. It may also be labeled as rayon or viscose rayon yarn; viscose is actually the processed cellulose base used to make rayon, and is not itself a fiber.
