If you have an appliance that has a metal case, the case is a conductor. Therefore, if the hot wire going to the appliance were to come in contact with the metal case and it were ungrounded it would be a shock hazard. If it were grounded the breaker would short if the hot wire contacted the case. So grounded and ungrounded refer to whether there is protection against a shock hazard by either assuring that there is not a potential between ground and the conductor (grounded) or if there could be an unintended path to ground, your body for example, which could kill you.
