I’m comfortable with the concept that the relationships are simply those described in the book:

1. Silk was grown from an engineered embryo bought by Tussah.  His genetic parents on Urth have no significance to the story.  Silk’s scanned persona later merged with the remains of that of Typhon.

2. Inhumi are animals, and have no relation to vines.  [It may of course be that particular plants of Green are of some nutritional significance to the water-breathing juvenile form of the inhumi.]
