Can I import data into child object without parent recordID by dataloader?

Hi, I have two objects Parent__c and Child__c in Master-Detail relationship.
There is need that create a trigger on Child__c which can automatically create parent record when child records are insert or update.
Is that possible?
My understanding is a child record cannot be inserted without parent record ID.

Its possiable with the trigger .. .Like this   sample code is here and its not bulkified 
  
trigger demo on Chaild__c(before insert){
	
	for(Chaild__c c :Trigger.new){
		Parent__c p = new Parent__c();
		p.Name =c.Name ; 
		insert p ; 
		c.ParentiD__c =p.Id ; 
	}
	
	
}

Hi @kevinsan,
If you want to achieve this, use dataloader.io whe you can lookup via name if you have parent record already in your org. If you dont have parent record then go for trigger.
