What do we mean by a ‘Form’ in Plato’s philosophy, and how does it differ from the physical objects we encounter in everyday life?

A Form is not a physical object, but rather an ideal version or essence of that object. For example, the Form of a Tree is not any particular tree we see in the world, but the perfect concept of "treeness"—the ideal, unchanging essence of what it means to be a tree.

physical objects will approximate the "forms" because the physical objects will never be "pure" representations of a form but a fleeting result. It is the same as kings and warriors fulfilling the "forms" of the gods by being far better fullfillments of them than the average individual. forms are conceptual "perfections" whereas physical states are fallible blobs of change.
