Usually, a transversal is a line that intersects two (or more) parallel lines. In that case the lines and the transversal are coplanar. However, a transversal does not have to intersect parallel lines. And in that case, the lines need not be coplanar. Here's one way to visualise the latter situation. Stand in a cuboid room.

Line one = the edge joining the wall opposite you to the ceiling.

Line two = the edge joining the wall on your right to the floor.

Transvesal = the edge joining the opposite wall to the wall on your right.

The transversal meets both the two lines but lines 1 and 2 are not coplanar.
