You seem to be referring to inheritance in a parent-child relationship.
Even if you are dealing with a totally non-technical audience, I would use
correct termonology and perhaps use an analogy to demonstrate meaning. If
you dummy your work down, and always cater to your audience's ignorance
without trying to educate them, in the end you have ignorant users in an
increasingly technical world.
