Answer:

DNA replication is called semiconservative because the new DNA helices are formed by a new strand and an old strand, commonly called daughter strand and mother strand.

Explanation:

This happens as the DNA is replicated from the replication fork by the DNA-polymerase, using the old strands as templates to create the new strand with its complementary bases. This results on two double helices formed by an old and a new strand. This was proved by the experiment of Meselson and Stahl.
