How can a class extending MouseAdapter override mouseDragged method?

Question

I've found this code from somewhere, don't remember where
private class DragLimiter extends MouseAdapter {
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
pressedX = e.getX();
pressedY = e.getY();
@Override
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
label.setLocation(
Math.min(
Math.max(label.getX() + e.getX() - pressedX, BORDER),
panel.getWidth() - label.getWidth() - BORDER),
Math.min(
Math.max(label.getY() + e.getY() - pressedY, BORDER),
panel.getHeight() - label.getHeight() - BORDER));
}The question is how can a class extending MouseAdapter override mousedragged()?
I found that MouseAdapter implements MouseListener whose subinterface is MouseMotionListener, I think this has something to do with the question.
But I've always thought you can only override methods of the super classes or interfaces not vice versa.
I believe I have some kind of fundamental misunderstanding of this and would like to have some help in understanding this.
Thanks

This is more a Java question than a Swing question.
I found that MouseAdapter implements MouseListener whose subinterface is MouseMotionListenerThat's not correct: if you look at MouseAdapter Javadoc, you'll find that it implements both MouseListener and MouseMotionListener (and MouseMotionListener is not a subinterface of MouseListener).
Regardless, if you look at the javadoc, you see that MouseAdapter declares a method public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent). It doesn't matter whether this is also declared by an interface, a subclass can override it all the same.
