Question

Answer 1

If a language is dependant on the OS of someone's computer, you have to code multiple versions to run on each one. Ex: A game or app that has Windows or Mac versions.
Java being platform independent means a program will run on most any computer. And if a patch or update needs to be applied, you only have to change the program once.

Edit: I see a JAVA tag, an a question about platform independent. So obviously you are interested on the jvm. I don't think that a post answer will cover this topic. But it seems you don't want to make researches and down voted. Good luck learning without searching.
