# Get Parent

## Overview

![The Get Parent Node.](/files/JBVZvJeK3BPZ7xP32DbK)

The **Get Parent Node** returns the **Object ID** of an **Object's** *parent*. If an **Object** has no explicit *parent* given by the user, the ID of the **Root Object** is returned. In **Incari**, every **Object** has a *parent*, with the **Root Object** being the *parent* of all **Objects** on the highest level.

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.
