parent requirement
Explanation:
Child: a child requirement has a hierarchical relationship to its parent. The PARENT REQUIREMENT is not satisfied (met) until all of its children are satisfied.

Parent: PARENT AND CHILD REQUIREMENTS have a hierarchical relationship. In functional decomposition, a parent may have many children, but a child can have only one parent. Where there is more than one level of decomposition, some requirements will be both parent and child. Functional primitives have no children. Some authors refer to them as "leaves." Parent-child is also used to describe traceable relationships. Traceable relationships can be one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many.

master requirement


Explanation:
I recently came across "horloge mère" as meaning the master clock which controlled all the slave clocks. Some might argue that there is a difference between the master-slave and mother-child relationship, but if you're a clock or a piece of software, I don't think it makes much difference...
