What does Matthew 13:19 mean?

When someone hears the message about God’s kingdom but doesn’t really get it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was planted in their heart. That’s like the seed that fell on the path. Matthew 13:19 - Modern Text Bible

(The seed on the path represents people who hear the message but don’t understand, so it never takes root.)
