An attribute is another name for a field in a table. Some attributes are used as keys to help specifically identify individual records,like a code number or reference number for example. Most attributes are not used as keys. Any of those are non-key attributes.
Types of Attributes in Dbms areKey or non key attributesRequired or optional AttributesSimple or composite AttributesSingle-valued and multi-valued AttributesStored, Coded or derived Attributes
the super key is the windows key (the flag) in non-windows OS

A relation is in second normal form (2NF) if any of the following conditions apply: The primary key consists of only one attribute No non-primary key attribute exists in the relation Every non-primary key attribute is functionally dependent on the full set of primary key attributes
There are a few key attributes of an operating system. The most common keys are scheduling, memory management and allocation of resources.
Attributes can be classified as identifiers or descriptors. Identifiers, more commonly called keys or key attributes uniquely identify an instance of an entity. If such an attribute doesn't exist naturally, a new attribute is defined for that purpose, for example an ID number or code. A descriptor describes a non-unique characteristic of an entity instance. An entity usually has an attribute whose values are distinct for each individual entity. This attribute uniquely identifies the individual entity. Such an attribute is called a key attribute. For example, in the Employee entity type, EmpNo is the key attribute since no two employees can have same employee number. Similarly, for Product entity type, ProdId is the key attribute. There may be a case when one single attribute is not sufficient to identify entities. Then a combination of attributes can solve this purpose. We can form a group of more than one attribute and use this combination as a key attribute. That is known as a composite key attribute. When identifying attributes of entities, identifying key attribute is very important.
Flavor and texture are two key attributes of fat in food.
prime attributes are the attributes of a candidate key which will give uniqueness. a candidate key is (the subset of superkey) which gives uniqueness. Super key is the maximum set of attributes that can provide uniqueness example ABCDE is a super key AB CD DE are the candidate keys s.t. AB is the primary key. CD and DE are the secondary/alternate keys.
I am supposing that key means primary key.Superkey is any subset of attributes that uniquely identifies the tuples of a relation. This subset need not be minimal, that is, one can remove some attributes from it and it is still uniquely identifying. If all redundant attributes are removed you get a subset what is called primary key.
Primary key of both parent attributes
Different set of attributes which are able to identify any row in the database is known as super key. And minimal super key is termed as candidate key i.e. among set of super keys one with minimum number of attributes. Primary key could be any key which is able to identify a specific row in database in a unique manner.
