superclass : Java Glossary

superclass
You create a new Dalmatian subclass by deriving it from (i.e. extending) a base/superclass Dog. The base class is called the superclass. The derived/ extended class is called the subclass. Think of a class tree dangling down from Object at the top. The superclass is above, the subclass below.
