Under X11 you will normally run a window manager which will "reparent" every window that it is supposed to manage. IOW, every visible window is usually a child, yes.

I just brought up the remote possibility that you *might* have managed to unmap your terminal window, somehow. In which case it can be tricky to get it back because the basic purpose of that function is to make a window "disappear". It turns out you probably didn't do this so let's not go deeper down this rabbithole.
