It is told in Ramayana that once King Janak was plowing the land in the field. At that time, he found a beautiful girl wrapped in mud in a gold pot from the earth. King Janak had no child at that time. That’s why King Janak adopted that girl and named her Sita and adopted her as his daughter throughout his life.
