In Dino Charge and Ninja Steel (and to a lesser extent Samurai), one of the rangers main parent was their dad, and they had significance in the series. Tyler's character motivation, and how he found his energem in the first place was because of wanting to find his dad. Similarly, a lot of Brody's character (i don't know the exact words) was trying to find his family, and his dad was the reason the power stars even exist. I can't remember much about Samurai, but iirc, Jayden was in a way trying to live up to being the ranger his dad was (i think). At the very least, they had a flashback of his dad passing on his "power."

In Beast Morphers and Dino Fury, so far the women have had a more significant role in the rangers' lives (coincidentally, they're both the mothers of the blue rangers). I haven't seen all of BM, but commander Shaw seems to have more connections/interactions with all of the rangers and is an active member of their lives. Although Dino Fury only has two episodes, I could see Dr. Akana having more plot relevance (as in moving the plot forward) over Warden Garcia.

Even though in the Hasbro Era, both kinds of parents have had some role, I think the moms of the characters will be closer linked to rangers in some way, similar to how Tyler, Brody, and Jayden's dads were linked to the rangers. Although they serve in different roles (because god forbid and we have the same amount/more women on a pr team), they are some driving force of the overall plot.
