The image from a plane mirror is called a virtual image, because it does not take place in the real area in which the real object is located.
In the study of optics, real objects and images are identified by the region in which light rays actually emerge or originate from. On the other hand, virtual objects and images are those that are located in a region where the light rays appear to emerge or originate from. In plane mirrors, the object is always real. As a result, the image is always virtual.
