When you plant a seed in the ground, it grows into a plant. This plant can make more seeds. The new seeds are like the offspring of the first seed. They are a new generation that will grow into plants too. Just like that, when animals like cats or dogs have babies, those babies are their offspring.
Think of a family tree. You have a mom and dad, and they have moms and dads too. You are like a new branch on this tree. Your brothers and sisters are branches too. Together, you are your parents’ offspring.
In a storybook, a king and queen might have a prince or princess. The prince or princess is their offspring, ready to grow up and maybe be king or queen one day.
Imagine a nest with bird eggs. When the eggs hatch, the baby birds are the offspring of the parent birds. They will learn to fly and sing just like their parents.
In a pond, a frog lays eggs, and tiny tadpoles hatch. These tadpoles are the frog’s offspring. They will grow up to be frogs too.
Every living thing, from the tiniest bug to the tallest tree, has offspring. It’s how life keeps going and growing.
