I think "Mother" is more of an idea than an individual. Though it isn't expressly stated that Sentients are asexual, I would assume they are, simply based on the fact that their original directive was colonizing, terraforming, and reproducing with the purpose of colonizing and terroforming more in the future. They're also referred to as 'machines' numerous times, and they were essentially robots in the beginning. It wasn't until they gained sentience that they became, themselves, a faction. Before, they were just worker drones for the Orokin on a very large scale.

In any case, I think "Father" being Hunhow indicates Hunhow's strong, domineering, overtly masculine personality.

"Mother", I theorize, is more or less indicative of the collective Sentient mind.
