To keep him from death. the pharaoh though there were too many Hebrews and decided to kill the new born male babies.
Her actions were based on faith because Moses could not have survived by natural means in the basket in the Nile. Her actions showed careful planning because she coated the basket with waterproof pitch; and she placed the basket where the Nile had reeds: an area where the water was not flowing strongly.
The Pharaoh's daughter who raised Moses is traditionally known as Bithiah or Batyah in Hebrew. In the biblical narrative found in the Book of Exodus, she is described as discovering Moses among the reeds of the Nile River and adopting him as her own son. Bithiah played a crucial role in Moses' early life, providing him with a privileged upbringing within the Egyptian royal court.
Moses was rescued from the river Nile, by the Pharaohs daughter.
The daughter of the Pharaoh came down to the river Nile for a bath, when she found Moses.The word Moses means taken out of the water.

Moses' mother placed him in an ark of bulrushes and set it adrift in the Nile River to protect him from Pharaoh's decree to kill Hebrew baby boys. Moses was later discovered by Pharaoh's daughter and raised in the Egyptian palace.
The Nile, the rive in which moses was placed in a basket made from bulrushes gets its name from the Greek word "Nelios" meaning River Valley.
The mother of Moses put him in a basket, and out him in the river Nile.
No. The basket in the Nile story is associated with Moses. After the birth of Moses, his sister Miriam placed him in a reed basket and sent him up the Nile, hoping he would find a better life than he would have with their family. He was found by the pharaoh's daughter, and he was raised as a royal son. Moses was born centuries before Jesus.

Moses was born in 1593 B.C.E., in Egypt, the son of Amram, from the tribe of Levi. Having seen the growth of the Hebrews, and fearing a take-over (Exodus 1:7-10+12), Pharoah ordered a genocide of all newborn Hebrew males. Moses' mother, Jochebed(Exodus 6:20), hid Moses for three months to protect him, then placed him in the reeds in the Nile River (Exodus 1:22), where Pharaoh's daughter found him.(Exodus 2:5-10)
According to the Biblical text, she didn't know.Another perspective:Exodus 2:5, 6 - Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children." [NKJV] Two strong possibilities come to mind. One: the king of Egypt had ordered that all male Hebrew children be killed (Exodus 1:16), and this child had apparently been hidden/abandoned. There would be no reason for an Egyptian male child to be hidden among the reeds of a riverbank. Two: discernible differences in the physical characteristics of Egyptians and Hebrews.
