How to determine the reverse-hereditary relationship?

Question

Programming

You are told: the Cat class inherits from the Organoid class;
In this case, Organoid is the parent class of Cat and the provider of its organs;
What does the Organoid class _do_ in this case? Insert the missing word:
Cat - inherited (verb).
Organoid - ... (verb).

Answer 1

Hmm... Provides?!

Answer 2

Nothing better abstracts and generalizes comes to mind.
And in general, why is there such a detail as "and the supplier of his organs"? Does the context of the question matter?
