Help me understand the structure of this sentence.

"Most of one side of the Mary Rose lay undamaged under the sea."

I wonder If there is any structure of "lay" that I don't know. According to what I found, "lay" is a past form of 'lie", so Which is the funtion of "undamaged"? Whether it modifies "lay" ahead. Thanks in advance.

No, "undamaged" doesn't modify "lay".

'undamaged' predicates something of the ship called the Mary Rose — or at least of one side of her.

'under the sea' is an adjunct of place saying where the Mary Rose lies.
