Explanation
A daughter means a female child of her parents. It describes a family relationship, just like son refers to a boy. Parents usually take care of their daughters when they are young, and the bond often continues into adulthood. The word can be used in both everyday family life and in a broader sense (like “daughters of the nation” to describe women of a country). Having a daughter is often associated with love, care, and responsibility in families. In many cultures, daughters are cherished and play important roles both at home and in society.
