equals() function is inherited (implemented proper term) from Object class. If you override it, it allows you to define your own method of comparing two different objects.
For example, you have a Animal class. You can override equals, on every class that extends Animal, so you can compare a Bird with other birds for their featherColors, or a Cat with other cats for their breedName.
