A supersaturated solution can be obtained when a saturated solution which is in contact with its solid, is slightly heated in order to increase the solubility product, followed by quick cooling.
The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution

Adding more solute the solution become supersaturated.
Supersaturated
A solution become supersaturated when the limitt of solute solubility at a given temperature is exceeded.
A supersaturated solution has a concentration of solute greater than the solubility at a specific temperature.
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
How a saturated solution can become supersaturated?
A supersaturated solution contain an amount of solute higher than the limit of solubility at a given temperature and pressure.
This is a saturated solution.
To make a supersaturated solution, you would first dissolve the maximum amount of solute in the solvent at an elevated temperature to increase solubility. Then, slowly cool the solution down without disturbing it to prevent the excess solute from precipitating out, creating a supersaturated solution.
If a seed crystal was added to a supersaturated solution, the resulting solution would be a crystallized solution. The formation of solid crystals that precipitate from a solution is called crystallization.
