A subgroup is a subset of a group that is itself a group under the same operation as the larger group. This means that a subgroup contains some of the elements of the larger group and satisfies the group properties: closure, identity, inverses, and associativity. Understanding subgroups helps in analyzing the structure of groups, as they can reveal important properties and relationships within the larger group.
