Polymorphism in Java is a concept by which we can perform a single action in different ways. Polymorphism is derived from 2 Greek words: poly and morphs. The word “poly” means many and “morphs” means forms. So polymorphism means many forms.

There are two types of polymorphism in Java: compile-time polymorphism and run-time polymorphism. We can perform polymorphism in java by method overloading and method overriding.
