If all elements in set "A" are also elements of set "B", then set "A" is a subset of set "B". If the sets are not equal (set "B" also has some elements that are not in set "A"), then set "A" is a PROPER subset of set "B".

Answer:

In simple words: a subset is a set (a group) that is within another set. For example, the set of odd integers (odd numbers) is a subset of the set of all integers.

A non-math example: the set of urbanites is a subset of the set of all people.

See the first Answer (above) for more detail.
