What are the cells produced by mitosis called?

The cells produced by mitosis are referred to as daughter cells. This is because, during the process of mitosis, a single parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical cells. Each of these new cells is a daughter cell of the original parent cell, carrying the same genetic material. Mitosis is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in organisms, and the daughter cells play critical roles in these processes.

The term "mother cells" is often used informally to describe the parent cell but does not correctly identify the resulting cells. "Parent cells" refers to the original cell from which the daughter cells are derived and does not describe the outcome of mitosis. "Sister cells" typically refers to the relationship of the two daughter cells to each other, but that terminology is not standard in describing the cells produced through mitosis. Daughter cells specifically emphasizes the result of the division process.
