Quick Answer
super refers to the parent class. super.method() calls the parent's version of an overridden method. super.field accesses a parent field hidden by a subclass field. super() in a constructor calls the parent constructor - must be the first statement. If you don't call super() explicitly, Java automatically inserts a call to the parent's no-arg constructor.
