What is thread starvation?

A condition where a thread is perpetually denied access to shared resources because other higher-priority or more frequent threads keep acquiring the lock first, preventing it from making progress.

Example
// Low-priority thread never gets CPU time if high-priority threads constantly run
Thread lowPriority = new Thread(task);
lowPriority.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY); // more prone to starvation
