In Java, the super keyword is used to access variables and methods of a super class from a sub class. For example:

public class Super {
    protected int number;
    
    protected showNumber() {
        System.out.println("number = " + number);
    }
}

public class Sub extends Super {
    void bar() {
        super.number = 10;
        super.showNumber();
    }
}

In the above example, the class Sub accesses the variable number and calls the method showNumber() for its super class Super.
