Answer
Subclasses provide specific implementations of superclass methods.
Overriding allows a subclass to offer a specific implementation for a method already defined in its superclass. For example, a 'Product' class might have a method 'display()'. A 'Book' subclass can override this method to display specific book details. The overridden method in the subclass is invoked, even if the object is referenced as the superclass type.
