    sub solidus means any point lie below the solidus line in phase diagram. Subsolidus represent that the material is in solid state..... Metamorphism is a process in which composition, texture etc of a rock change in solid state. So as the changes occur in solid state that's why metamorphism is a sub solidus process.
