I started learning java few months ago and i was wondering if all abstract classes are parent classes because if an abstract method is included inside a abstract class it wont have a body so it must be overriden which can be done when another class extends to it.

So from what i understand when an abstract class has an abstract method, the method is written to make abstract to make sure its child classes include this method. And since it has a child class it should be a parent class right? I am not sure so can someone please help me understand this better.
