What is the significance of the static keyword when it comes to hiding methods in Java?
The static keyword means the method belongs to the class, and thus, static methods are hidden in subclasses if they share the same signature as a method in the parent class.

Can you elaborate on the importance of the `static` keyword in the context of memory management for static methods?
