The Tag.parent property returns the parent for the particular tag.
Examples
Consider the following HTML document:
my_html = """ <div id="people"> <div id="profile"> <p>Alex</p> </div> </div>"""soup = BeautifulSoup(my_html)
To print the parent element of <p>Alex</p>:
print(p_tag.parent)
<div id="profile"><p>Alex</p></div>
Notice how the parent tag printed includes the child tag <p>Alex</p>.
