Descendants is a word
that come into existence due to the act of reproduction. It signifies the continuation of lineage as well as the transfer of traits from guardian to offspring. This meaning of progeny extends beyond physical descendants, encompassing adopted children, and even ideas that get transferred from one group to the next. Progeny carry the heritage of their forebears, making them a connection among previous and forthcoming.
