latest/youngest offspring/offshoot
Explanation:
Webster's:

"offshoot = 1. Branch of a main stem especially of a plant. 2a: a lateral branch (as of a mountain range) b: a collateral branch, descendant, or member"

"offspring = the progeny of an animal or plant"

Als het een persoon betreft, kies dan "youngest offspring".
