procreator
One who begets
A procreator is one who procreates—a parent or biological producer of offspring.
The word is formal and appears most often in legal, religious, or philosophical contexts: The state recognizes both procreators as having parental rights.
It applies equally to mothers and fathers, emphasizing the act of biological reproduction rather than the ongoing role of parenting.
