Multiple inheritance occurs when a subclass inherits properties and behaviors from multiple superclasses. This allows you to create a class that inherits from multiple parent classes, which can be useful when you want to reuse code from different sources.

However, Java does not support multiple inheritance directly, as it can lead to ambiguity and other complex issues. Instead, Java provides alternatives such as interfaces, which allow you to define a set of common methods that can be implemented by multiple classes.

Example of the implementation of an interface in Java:
