One of the most useful features for animators is the ability to attach or "parent" a prop to any given object. The parent object can be anything from another prop to a body part like the head or a hand. Parenting a prop makes it behave as part of the parent object removing the need to keyframe the prop separately thereby avoiding the subtle slips and shifts which can make an animation look unrealistic.
