A virtual function in object-oriented programming allows derived classes to replace the implementation provided by a base class. The compiler defers the decision of which function to invoke until runtime, which is a form of dynamic binding or late binding. This mechanism enables polymorphism, where the exact function called is determined by the object's runtime type, not its compile-time type.
