A functional interface in Java is an interface that contains exactly one abstract method. This restriction ensures that the interface can be used for lambda expressions or method references, fitting into Java’s functional programming paradigm. Functional interfaces can have any number of default or static methods, but only one abstract method. They are often marked with the @FunctionalInterface annotation to indicate their purpose and to enforce the single abstract method rule during compile-time.
