The Enigmatic Riddle of the Sea Creatures

What aquatic creature is described in the following riddle?

The moon is my father. The sea is my mother. I have a million brothers. I die when I reach land.

Answer:

The answer to the riddle is Fish.

The riddle describes the life of a fish underwater, using metaphors such as the moon as the mysterious underwater world, the sea as the home of fish, and the inability to survive on land.

Fish are uniquely adapted to live in water, with gills that extract oxygen from the water and fins that help them navigate their aquatic environment.

There are countless species of fish in the sea, hence the reference to having a million brothers. When fish are taken out of the water and brought onto land, they suffocate and die due to their reliance on water for oxygen.
