Under normal conditions, supersaturated solutions won't take more solute. Of course, you can heat, cool, agitate, etc., the solution to reach something called supersaturation, where solutions can be conned into taking more solute.
It is called a saturated solution. This is created by adding in solute until no more solute dissolves. Then the excess solute is filtered. This works much better for a saturated solution at room temperature, as when the solution hits the filter paper, some will come out because it is colder.

I made a saturated solution by adding sugar to water until no more sugar could dissolve.
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
The solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves in the solvent.
The solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves in the solvent.
The solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves in the solvent.
why it is significant to know wheter a solution is saturated or unsaturated
If more solute is added to the solution and the solute remains undissolved, then you know that solution is saturated.
When the solute stops dissolving.

You have to Heat it!
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
