They use the word "daughter" with reproducing cells and things like that because if they have the ability to reproduce, they are given the female name because males do not have the ability to reproduce. Make sense? Good.

About The Dictionary
From the publisher's feed
I read the English Dictionary in short sections, comment on it, make bad jokes, and sometimes sing little songs. I hope it’s more entertaining than just reading the dictionary alone. It’s an evolving…
project so the letter ”A” had lower quality, plus less commenting and jokes.
