In Confluence, you can organize pages into a hierarchy of parent and child pages. Pages in such a hierarchy are called a 'page family'.
Page families are a simple but effective way of categorizing content and making navigation of your site easier by providing links forward and backwards through the page hierarchy.
A parent page is at the topmost level of that hierarchy.
For example, in your organization, you may have a space for 'Fun'. Under this space you could have the following pages:

The 'Recreation' page in this hierarchy is the parent page and the 'Sports', 'Music' and 'Up Coming Trips' pages are its child pages. Together, they comprise a page family.
Confluence will only allow you to create page families that are a simple tree. What this means is that you can create any number of nested families but a child can have only one parent.
