Does a person need to be a parent to become a grandparent?

Yes, a person needs to be a parent to become a grandparent. Parents care for their children. When the children grow up and have kids of their own, the parents become grandparents to those kids. A person who is not a parent has no kids, therefore nobody to produce grandchildren for them. So a person needs to be a parent to become a grandparent. Is this a good answer?
