Offspring

Encyclopedia : O : OF : OFF : Offspring



 

In biology, offspring are the product of reproduction, a new organism produced by one or more parents.

Human offspring (descendants) are referred to as children (without reference to age, thus one can refer to a parent's "minor children" or "adult children"); male children are sons and female children are daughters. See kinship and descent.
