A varistor is a resistor that depends or varies in accordance with voltage.

A varistor is a resistor which changes resistance in accordance with the temperature.

This is a resistor whose value changes with the applied voltage. We can get this type of resistors from FETs.

Varistor is the special type of resistor, its changes the resistance un accordance with the temperature.

When voltage drop increases across the resistor, power dissipation also increase because of P=VI and thus temperature increases.
Due to increase in temperature there are a lot of free electrons generates in the wire which moves randomly in all direction and provide barrier in the path of current & hence the resistance of wire increase.

I have a small doubt. High barrier potential is provided when the temperature is increased in reverse bias. Then it offers high resistance. When the temperature is increased in forward bias, in that situation there is small barrier potential. Then current is high and resistance is small.
