Have you ever worked with a subgraph in your data analysis projects?

Yeah, I used one last week to simplify my findings.

That sounds useful! A subgraph can really help focus on specific relationships, right?

Exactly! It makes it easier to visualize the important connections.

Root Explanation

Subgraph → It is formed from "sub-" (meaning under or below) and "graph" (from Greek "grapho", meaning to write or draw). A subgraph refers to a smaller graph that exists within a larger graph, essentially a graph that is 'under' or part of another.

Memory Tip

Think of a smaller drawing ('graph') that exists 'under' ('sub-') a larger one — that's what a subgraph is.
