As I understand it, the mother is the actual substance that helps to form the cider into the vinegar so that you could strain it out, put it in some new apple cider and leave it and it would form a new baby crock of vinegar! It's the change agent that transforms the cider into vinegar. So it's quite maternal in its activities, I suppose!

Mother of vinegar is a substance composed of a form of cellulose and acetic acid bacteria that develops on fermenting alcoholic liquids, which turns alcohol into acetic acid with the help of oxygen from the air. It is added to wine, cider, or other alcoholic liquids to produce vinegar. Mother of vinegar can also form in store-bought vinegar if there is some non-fermented sugar and/or alcohol contained in the vinegar. While not appetizing in appearance, mother of vinegar is completely harmless and the surrounding vinegar does not have to be discarded because of it. It can be filtered out using a coffee filter, or simply left in and ignored." If it is unfiltered but pasteurized it is still dead vinegar. Think of it in terms of yogurt with live cultures - if you heat it over a certain temp the little beasties die. Part of the health benefit is the LIVE little beasties. I have no idea why it is called "mother" though.

Someone did explain it well, because I, too, was wondering why they didn't just call it unfiltered...
