Answer:

The temperature and pressure below which a supercritical fluid exists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Critical point is a region on the phase diagram where fluid phases (liquids and gases) have the equal density.

This is caused by increased temperature and pressure of the fluid particles in a confided container. Supercritical fluids exist in a state above critical point.

I hope this explanation was clear.
