What is saturation region?

The second region is called “saturation”. This is where the base current has increased well beyond the point that the emitter-base junction is forward biased. In fact, the base current has increased beyond the point where it can cause the collector current flow to increase.

What is the condition for an NMOS to be in saturation?

The MOSFET is in saturation when V(GS) > V(TH) and V(DS) > V(GS) - V(TH). ... If I slowly increase the gate voltage starting from 0, the MOSFET remains off. The LED starts conducting a small amount of current when the gate voltage is around 2.5V or so.
