Answer:

parent and offspring

Step-by-step explanation:

I think probably what the question is referring to is in the context of biology, the "original organism" is known as the parent. The young that they reproduce are known as the offspring.

The offspring could be formed by the sexual reproduction of two parental organisms, or the asexual reproduction of just one parental organism.
