But I am not accessing it directly I am accessing it through the object of concrete subclass isn't the object of concrete subclass supposed to have copies of all the fields in it including the inherited ones

[peak sluice]

All the fields are "copied", as you say, but do not change access modifiers. It means, even in Concrete subclass, protected fields remain protected and can't be accessed outside another subclass.

[mental fossil]

But say practice also extends Concrete now will i be able to access members of concrete but through object of concretesubclass in practice
