"that is"?

Hello,

I was given a sentence "A good mother loves her every child equally, that is, she does not love one of her children more than another."

I am confused about the part ", that is,". What is the role of ", that is," here? was the part inserted in the sentence to explain what the person really meant by saying "A good mother loves her every child equally"?

Anonymous was the part inserted in the sentence to explain what the person really meant by saying "A good mother loves her every child equally"? Yes. I would put a semicolon before "that is", though.
