'''Daughter''' refers to [[human]] [[female]] [[offspring]], whether they are still young, or quite old. Since the term essentially means every [[girl]] and [[woman]] in existence, it usually only comes up when one of the [[parent]]s is also being mentioned.
It is also a term sometimes used in a metaphoric sense in other fields. For instance, the main circuit board in a [[personal computer]] is called a "motherboard", and the smaller cards that plug into to to add functions are sometimes called "daughterboards".
There is an organization called the "[[Daughters of the American Revolution]]", whose members are women who can trace their ancestry to people who lived in what became the [[United States]] during the revolutionary era.
