In /etc/sshd/sshd_config , I could see

Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

This specifies the subsystem and its location.

How and when will the subsystem be started?

Thanks Venkat

the sftp subsystem is started automatically after ssh login from the ssh client (examples: winscp, scp, filezilla). the sshd daemon "link" the ssh connection with the sftp daemon and create new process. Regards.
