Technically, parent access also verify before granting the specific field access on a table. In your case, user can read those field if he has access to Parent table. 

Below link may help you to understand.

Hi Chanikya,

Because Incident, problem, chnage extends task table. The short description, description and state fields are defined in task table. Those fields are just inherited by child tables, but they are originally from task itself. Hence if ACL is applied on these fields which will reflect in child tables also.
