A company is referred to as an "artificial person" because it is a legal entity created by law, distinct from its owners or shareholders. This status allows it to enter into contracts, own property, and be liable for debts independently of the individuals behind it. Like a natural person, a company can sue and be sued, but it does not possess physical form or personal feelings, hence the term "artificial." This legal framework provides certain protections and rights, facilitating business operations and limiting personal liability for its members.
