What is supervised learning?

Short answer

Learning from labelled examples, where each input comes with the right answer, so the model learns to map inputs to answers.

For example

Thousands of X-ray images, each labelled by a radiologist as showing a fracture or not, are used to train a model that labels new X-rays.
