please tell me why is its reicher?
Sie ist das Kind reicher Eltern.
She is the child of rich parents.
I thought it was genitive and plural no article...I thought it would be reiche. Do you not add an 'e' to something that is genitive, plural no article? I obviously have something wrong, either my case, or perhaps my chart with the ending is incorrect. Please help!

When a noun has no article, the adjective ending is the ending the article would have if it were there.
If there were an article in this case, it'd be "dER reichen Eltern" (it is plural and genitive). Since there is no article, the adjective gets the "-er" ending instead.
