They inherit everything.

You see, when I first read your title, I assumed you meant themes styled around actual parents and children (ie. mother and son). Which doesn't really make any sense.
Child themes inherit, I believe, everything that hasn't been modified from the parent theme. When the child theme is created, it retains all of the styling and templates from the parent, until one of them becomes modified (ie. if you're only changing one template and some colors in the stylesheet, all other templates and stylesheets will remain inherited).
