The empty element is a subset of any set--the empty set is even a subset of itself. But it is not an element of every set; in particular, the empty set cannot be an element of itself because the empty set has no elements.

yes, if the set being described is empty, we can talk about proper and improper subsets. there are no proper subsets of the empty set. the only subset of the empty set is the empty set itself. to be a proper subset, the subset must be strictly contained. so the empty set is an improper subset of itself, but it is a proper subset of every other set.
The empty set!
The universal subset is the empty set. It is a subset of all sets.

No. An empty set is a subset of every set but it is not an element of every set.
Any set has the empty set as subset A is a subset of B if each element of A is an element of B For the empty set ∅ the vacuum property holds For every element of ∅ whatever property holds, also being element of an arbitrary set B, therefore ∅ is a subset of any set, even itself ∅ has an unique subset: itself

The trivial subsets of a set are those subsets which can be found without knowing the contents of the set. The empty set has one trivial subset: the empty set. Every nonempty set S has two distinct trivial subsets: S and the empty set. Explanation: This is due to the following two facts which follow from the definition of subset: Fact 1: Every set is a subset of itself. Fact 2: The empty set is subset of every set. The definition of subset says that if every element of A is also a member of B then A is a subset of B. If A is the empty set then every element of A (all 0 of them) are members of B trivially. If A = B then A is a subset of B because each element of A is a member of A trivially.
It isn't. The empty set is a subset - but not a proper subset - of the empty set.
Yes,an empty set is the subset of every set. The subset of an empty set is only an empty set itself.
The only subset of an empty set is the empty set itself.
The eight (8) grouping symbols related to set theory include the following: ∈ "is an element (member) of" ∉ "is not an element (member) of" ⊂ "is a proper subset of" ⊆ "is a subset of" ⊄ "is not a subset of" ∅ the empty set; a set with no elements ∩ intersection ∪ union
Because every member of the empty set (no such thing) is a member of any given set. Alternatively, there is no element in the empty set that is missing from the given set.

I believe you are talking about subsets. The empty set (set with no elements) is a subset of any set, including of the empty set. ("If an object is an element of set A, then it is also an element of set B." Since no element is an element of set A, the statement is vacuously true.)
