Explanation from PAN:
* Parent: Compounds labeled with a "P" are the parent compound of the group. The parent chemical was chosen on the basis of available toxicity information, where chemicals with the maximum amount of toxicity information assigned to parent status. Where no toxicity information was available for any member of a group, we assigned parent status to the least derivatized member of the group for organic compounds (e.g., benzoic acid would be the parent instead of methyl benzoate), the sodium salt (for compounds with a common anion), or the chloride salt (for compounds with a common cation). These are general guidelines and not hard and fast rules, because the groups are rarely so easy to categorize. For some groups with no obvious parent, assignment of parent status was arbitrary.

Group 1: Salts, esters and/or complexes of the parent chemical, e.g., glyphosate and glyphosate, isopropylamine salt; 2,4-D and 2,4-D, butoxyethyl ester. Alternatively, the parent compound itself is an ester or salt, and related compounds are other esters or salts.
