Why is it feminine?

Informações is feminine because it derives from the Latin noun "informatio," which belongs to the third declension feminine category (ending in -tiō, -tiōnis). In Portuguese, Latin third declension -tiō nouns regularly evolved into -ção nouns, which are consistently feminine. The feminine gender was preserved through this sound change from Latin to Portuguese.
