Solution

Any investment made or any effort taken by parents to take care of the young ones in order to increase the chance of survival of the offspring and hence increase the reproductive rate of success is called parental care. The parents care for their young ones, provide good nutrition, protect them from predators and help the young ones lead a successful life. It is similar to the love and care that your parents have for you.
