The Product Owner and the Scrum Master are essential roles in the Scrum Team. They have distinct accountabilities and responsibilities that contribute to the success of the product and the team. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Developers. The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum and the Scrum Team. Both roles need to be fully engaged and available to the Scrum Team throughout the Sprint.

A subject matter expert? Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "the person who actually knows what they're doing"?

If the Scrum Master is 100% dedicated, does that mean they can't take bathroom breaks?

The Scrum Master is like the team's personal trainer - you can't have a Scrum Team without one!

Okay, let me break this down. I know the Scrum Master is there to facilitate the Scrum process, but I'm not sure if they are 100% required. I'll have to re-read the Scrum Guide to be sure.
