Answer
It allows invoking a method on an object dynamically.
Method.invoke enables the dynamic invocation of methods at runtime, allowing for flexible and generic method handling. This is useful in situations where the method to be called is not known until runtime, such as executing user-defined tasks in a script engine. For instance, a task scheduler might use Method.invoke to run tasks defined in a configuration file, executing different methods based on the task type.
