Constructors in Java are special methods used to initialize objects. There are two types of constructors: no-argument constructors which have no parameters and are used to create default objects, and parameterized constructors which have parameters to provide initial values to objects. Constructors must follow certain rules - they must have the same name as the class, cannot have a return type, and can use any access modifier. The key difference between constructors and methods is that constructors initialize an object's state while methods expose its behavior, and constructors do not have a return type unlike methods.
