noun/ˈfiː.meɪl/
meaning in plain English
A person or animal that can give birth or lay eggs.
Picture a mother hen, a female, sitting on eggs — she’s the one who can lay them.
for example
The zoo welcomed a new female gorilla to the troop.
Think of a mother cat nursing her kittens—she’s the female who gives birth and cares for them, just like a hen sitting on eggs is the female in her coop. Without her, there’d be no new little lives, which is why we call her female in the first place.
