Answer
@Inherited allows annotations to be inherited by subclasses.
The @Inherited annotation, when applied to another annotation, means that if a class is annotated with it, subclasses will inherit the annotation. This is useful in frameworks where certain behaviors or configurations should propagate down an inheritance hierarchy, like default logging strategies.
