A programming language is called platform independent if that program can be run on any platform (operating system). Java is platform-independent because the same java program can run on any operating system.

If you write a code in Java, then the program will be sent to the compiler for compilation. The compiler creates a .class file that is readable for JVM(Java Virtual Machine). Each operating system will have different JVMs, these are responsible for Java to be a platform-independent otherwise java is a platform dependent.
