Molly O'Brien, a Human child

Son redirects here; for "the Son" worshipped on 892-IV, please see Son (religious figure).

In biology, an offspring was the product of reproduction from one or more parents. Offspring were an integral component to building a family, where they may be identified one's son (a male offspring) or daughter (a female offspring).


The term child (plural: children) was referred to offspring, specifically that of humanoids, while childhood, in essence, follows the stages of child development from infancy to adolescence. While the term generally applied to adolescents, the term "child" could continue to apply to adult members of a species. James T. Kirk once described children as "little ones like yourselves. They grow." (TOS: "The Apple") A biological child was the term for a child produced biologically rather than artificially. (TNG: "Inheritance")
