What is parent material?
The term "parent material" is generic and it refers to any type of substance or material which undergoes some process to produce another material. The term "parent material" can be used in geology, chemistry or radioactivity for three of many examples. In Earth science and geology , it may refer to mineral composition that weathers easily can produce more soil, for example. In nuclear physics, it is the radioactive material that decays to produce daughter nuclei. In chemistry, it is material that undergoes chemical change to yield another chemical.
