How do I get the parent of an element in jQuery

In jQuery, you can get the parent of an element by using the `.parent()` method. This method retrieves the immediate parent of the selected element(s).


            <div class="parent">
                <div class="child">Child Element</div>
            </div>

            <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
            <script>
                $(document).ready(function() {
                    var parentElement = $('.child').parent();
                    console.log(parentElement); // Logs the parent div
                });
            </script>
