When child class inherits from a parent class and it gains all the methods properties of the parent class.
To resolve this problem a class member from a parent class, the parent class has to be declare as virtual while the child class should declare as override..
this whole process is called polymorphism

No this is not the definition of Polymorphism.
This is Inheritance.

Polymorphism literally mean "many forms".
Polymorphism is the ability to create an object or a method that can have more than one form.

The idea behind polymorphism is to all the user to choose what method they want to use at runtime than at design time.
Method overloading and overriding are not really examples of Polymorphism by themselves.
