In operating systems, a child process whose parent has exited without properly reclaiming it, leaving it running in the background. Such processes are adopted by the init process or systemd and may continue occupying system resources for extended periods.

Residual orphan processes occupy ports, consume memory and CPU, and can even prevent subsequent tasks from starting due to port conflicts.
