(JAVA)What happens with variables of the superclass when we use pholymorphism?

If I have a class and, then, I created another class like this: class [new class_name] extends [old class_name] {...etc..}. How I can use the variables of the superclass in the subclass? What are the limitations of pholymorphism? Does anyone have material about pholymorphism?

1. You can access super attributes by super.variableName if the access modifier of the variable is public or protected. 2. [Edit] Private variables of the super class are not inherited. 3. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/subclasses.html
