Offspring is a term who are born due to the act of generation. It connotes the perpetuation of family as well as the handover of characteristics from parent to offspring. The definition of progeny extends beyond physical descendants, including foster children, and even concepts that get transferred from ancestors to another. Progeny inherit the heritage of their forebears, creating them a connection among past and forthcoming.
