It was declared that Lord Rama was born of the Paayasam which was brought by the deity from out of the sacrificial fire. No Avathar is born flesh and blood, including this Avathar.
The body of the Avataar is Chith (awarenessful) substance; it is not Jada (inert) like other materials. The embryo of ordinary morals is Jalodhakashaayi (enveloped in watery stuff); the embryo of the Avathaar is encased in Ksheerodakashaayi (the pure white milk of holiness). That is why in the make-up of the Avathaar, there is no blemish, there is no trace of Guna. - taken from Swami's Discourse on 4th February 1963... Sai Ram __._,_.___
