I believe the answer is:

poppy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like father she' is the definition.
'Poppy' can be an answer for 'she'. I am not certain of the 'like father' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for poppy that I've seen before include "Girl's name -- scarlet flower" , "Remembrance Day flower" , "Flower of cornfields" , "Wild flower having its day in November" , "Red field flower" .)
