According to Wikipedia:

The term organelle is the diminutive form of organ meaning 'little tool". Various texts, including the popular Campbell and Reece (6th edition) refer to ribosomes as organelles. Others do not. Some restrict the use to membrane-bound structures. This then leads to some confusion as to how to refer to ribosomes. Consequently many texts (Cormack, Introduction to Histology) delineate between membranous and non-membranous organelles. Non-membranous cell structures, which are sometimes not considered organelles, include: * ribosome * cytoskeleton * flagellum * centriole and microtubule-organizing center (MTOC). So basically the bulletpoints are non-membrane bound organelles.

A non-membrane-bound organelle is a cellular structure that lacks a membrane boundary. Examples include ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis, and centrioles, which play a role in cell division. These organelles are distinct from membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria.

What is a non example for prokaryote?

A non-example of a prokaryote would be a eukaryotic organism, such as plants, animals, fungi, or protists. Eukaryotic cells have a true membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, which are not present in prokaryotic cells.
