A submanifold is a subset of a manifold that is itself a manifold, equipped with a structure that allows it to inherit the properties of the larger manifold. It retains the ability to be described with local charts and can exhibit dimensions lower than that of the ambient manifold. This concept is crucial in understanding how lower-dimensional structures can exist within higher-dimensional spaces.
congrats on reading the definition of Submanifold. now let's actually learn it.
