👉 In algebraic geometry, a "subvariety" is a subset of an affine variety defined over a field. It is a geometric object that can be described by its points and lines, but it does not have to be contained in any other point or line. A subvariety is typically characterized by the following properties: 1. Non-degenerate: A subvariety must not intersect itself. 2. Minimal: The set of points defining the subvariety must be a single point.
