Either for me, but I feel I should draw attention to the spelling. (Java is right.) Ironically, the word derives from priesthood (hieratic), not from inheritance (heir).How about: "the base class of the class heirarchy""the root of the class heirarchy" Java ... now says: "Class Object is the root of the class hierarchy. Every class has Object as a superclass. All objects, including arrays, implement the methods of this class."
