Hi yassir,

Only root CAs have  self signed CA certificates. This CA certificate is
signed with the private key associated to the public key it icludes.
If a root CA signs a new certificate for a subCA, the new certificate is
a CA certificate because it was signed by  a private key owned by a
different entity (in this case the root CA).

Best Regards
