I can’t seem to find a function that returns the name and link to the parent forum of a topic in this loop on the front page

foreach ( $topics as $topic ) :

Does anyone know what the function is?

You would use either

forum_link($topic->forum_id);   // self echos

or

$link=forum_get_link($topic->forum_id);   // returns a string

what you probably want is:

<a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a>
