Virtual memory is a memory management technique that allows the operating system to use disk storage as an extension of physical RAM. It works by dynamically allocating and swapping memory pages between RAM and disk storage, transparently to the user and applications. This enables the operating system to run more processes concurrently than can fit into physical memory, improving overall system performance and multitasking capabilities.
