As an example, given a base class Shape, polymorphism enables the programmer to define different area methods for any number of derived classes, such as Circles, Rectangles and Triangles. No matter what shape an object is, applying the area method to it will return the correct results.
This may also be referred to as an "is-a" relationship.
Static polymorphism is used the concept of early binding or we can say compile time binding where as dynamic polymorphism used the concept of late binding or run time binding.
Inheritance Encapsulation Polymorphism Abstraction
It means a word or phrase used to describe a thing or to express a concept, esp in a particular kind of language or branch of study
polymorphism in coelentrates
Mathematical phrase is a number phrase which does not express a complete thought.
When the crystalline structure has more than one structure, the material is called Polymorphic.
Polymorphism, is an object-oriented programming concept, which relates to the ability to create a variable, function or an object that has more than one form. This allows the object to invoke the correct instance of the variable, function or other object based upon the object type. The most common use of polymorphism in OOP occurs when a parent class reference is used to refer to a child class object.

Yes. Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language and it supports the OOPS concepts like Inheritance, Polymorphism etc

A phrase that doesn't express a complete thought is called a fragment.
as my English teacher says " a phrase is a group of words that express a complete thought or idea" but yeah you basically had it right.
Polymorphism means multiple form of a function, variable or object. In Computer Science, polymorphism is a programming language feature that allows values of different data types to be handles using a common interface. There are three types : Ad-Hoc Polymosphism, Parametric Polymorphism, Subtype/Inclusion Polymorphism. Source: Wikipedia.
