Possible definitions for fatil


family
Basic social unit consisting of persons united by ties of marriage (affinity), "blood," (consanguinity), or adoption and usually representing a single household. The essence of the family group is the parent-child relationship, whose outlines nevertheless vary widely among cultures. One prominent familial form is the nuclear family, consisting of the marital pair and their offspring living in a separate dwelling. While some scholars believe this to be the oldest form, others point to the inconclusive prehistorical record and the widespread existence of other forms such as the polygynous family (a husband, two or more cowives, and their offspring) and the extended family (parents, married children, and their offspring). The family as an institution provides for the rearing and socialization of children, the care of the aged, sick, or disabled, the legitimation of procreation, and the regulation of sexual conduct in addition to supplying basic physical, economic, and emotional security for its members. See also marriage.

In pedology, a group of soils that have similar profiles and include one or more subdivisions called series. The primary characteristics that define each of the nearly 6,600 identified soil families are the physical and chemical properties--especially texture, mineral composition, temperature, and depth--that are important for the growth of plants.
