A supersaturated solution is when there is more solute present in the solution than can be absorbed by the solvent. When it is disturbed, all of the solute that is not in solution falls out, sometimes forming crystals.
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.
Supersaturated
A supersaturated solution contains more dissolved solute than is typically predicted at a given temperature and pressure. This occurs when a solution is prepared by dissolving solute at a higher temperature and then carefully cooling it without allowing the excess solute to crystallize out. Supersaturated solutions are unstable, and any disturbance can lead to rapid crystallization of the excess solute.
A supersaturated solution is obtained.
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!
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.
