Polimorphism is a therm usually applied on biology. A polimorphic system implies that each internal component of a open system may react by different forms when exposed to a certain stimulus. It mainly occurs in complex systems design or in comprehension of genetics in life forms.
Polimorphism makes possible "dynamic binding" in object-oriented software engineering and by this reazon it was incorporated on informatics jargon.
"Polimorphism means that the sender of a stimulus does not need to know the receiving instance´s class. The receiving instance can belong to and arbitrary class." (Jacobson, I., 2004)
