Modified on: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 3:24 PM
A parent file is a file that contains one or more links pointing to other files.
These links store information about the name and location of the referenced files, allowing the parent file to access or display them when needed.
In simple terms, a parent file is the source file that holds links to other files, which are commonly referred to as child files.
