A field-by-field copy method explicitly defined in the class allows for a controlled and accurate duplication of an object's state from one instance (object1) to another (object2). Java does not provide a universal copy method in its API for object duplication, and the default constructor or assignment statement alone may not achieve a deep copy if the object contains complex data structures or references.
