Why are interfaces important for multiple inheritance?

Answer
Interfaces provide a way to achieve multiple inheritance.
Java does not support multiple inheritance with classes due to complexity and ambiguity issues. However, it allows a class to implement multiple interfaces. This means a class can inherit behaviors from multiple sources. For instance, a 'SmartPhone' could implement both 'Camera' and 'Phone' interfaces, inheriting methods from both without conflict.
