Inherence

Inheritance is a way for one thing to get things from another thing. Imagine you have a box full of things. You can give some of the things from the box to someone else. That's inheritance. In the same way, when something inherits something from something else, it gets something from it. For example, if a child inherits something from their parents, they get something that belongs to their parents.
