Why do you keep saying "legal" and not "natural" ?
What is the meaning of the word "parent" ?
Legal guardian is a more broad term that includes natural guardian:
A minor child's parents are the child's natural guardians
What is the meaning of the word "parent" ?
A parent in this case refers to either the progenitor of a child or the adoptive parent.

Note: It should be noted that a named living person has not claimed guardianship and therefore responsibility over the child.
Sure, if a person in the middle of the wilderness has a kid, then yeah, like any other animal, there's no responsibility over the child.
But in a particular society, there are rules, and they protect the kid for example so that the parents have responsibilities over the child if it is born in that country.
By using the word parent you are implicitly assuming a society. Language is not created in a vacuum. It needs a society.
