Riddle

I am mother and father, but never birth or nurse. I'm rarely still, but I never wander. What am I?

Choose an answer

A.A parent plant.
B.A seed.
C.A garden.
D.I am a tree.
Hint: It's a 4-word phrase with 8 letters, starting with "I".

Answer

I am a tree.

Why this is the answer

A tree "parents" seeds and branches without ever giving birth, and while its leaves and limbs constantly stir, it always stays rooted in one place -- a somewhat loose fit for "mother and father."
