A saturated solution is more stable than a super saturated one. The reason for this is because the super saturated solution has an extra amount of solute. If you tap, poke, shake or put anything else in the supersaturated solution, the extra solute (that was used to reach super saturation) will crystallize. Hope this helped!
A solution that contains more dissolved material than its solubility can hold is called a supersaturated solution. It is temporarily stable but can become unstable and result in the excess solute precipitating out of the solution.
Supersaturated. This occurs when a solution has more solute dissolved in it than can normally be dissolved at that temperature. Supersaturation is an unstable state and the excess solute will typically precipitate out if given the opportunity.
If a solution has more solute than it can hold, it is called supersaturated. This means that the solution is unstable and may precipitate out excess solute if disturbed.
Supersaturated
A solution becomes supersaturated when the temperature is raised because higher temperatures increase the solubility of most solutes, allowing more of the solute to dissolve in the solvent. When the solution is then cooled without any solute precipitating out, it can hold more solute than it normally would at the lower temperature, resulting in a supersaturated state. This condition is unstable, and any disturbance can cause the excess solute to crystallize out.

The solute will eventually fall out of a supersaturated solution

Supersaturated solutions tend to be unstable. This is largely due to the fact that one is putting more solute than would normally dissolve at that temperature.

Adding more solute the solution become supersaturated.
