Morphology
underrepresented = underrepresent (transparent) = under + represent + ed
The adjective is formed by adding -ed to the verb 'underrepresent', a regular derivation indicating a state of being represented insufficiently.
Etymology
Underrepresented starts with under- meaning 'not enough' or 'below' and the root represent (like present) meaning 'to show or speak for someone'. So, underrepresented means 'not shown' or 'not given enough voice or presence', which is why we use it for groups that have less attention or numbers than they should.
