Think of your machine learning models as skaters balancing on a rail. On one side, there's the risk of underfitting, like a skater who can't quite pull off a trick because they're not pushing themselves enough. Now, this happens when your model is too simple, barely scratching the surface of what your data has to offer, and missing the bigger picture.
