Unusually, planetouched are not 1st generation hybrids (those are known as half-fiends, half-celestials or half-elementals), but the subsequent children of those 1st generation hybrids. Other races along the same line were attempted throughout 3rd edition, but never really caught on. The most iconic are the Tiefling (fiends from the Lower Planes), Aasimar (celestials from the Upper Planes) and Genasi (elementals from the Elemental Planes).
The "Planetouched" are an entire racial category introduced in the Planescape setting whose backstory consists of "humans having kids with beings from the planes".For example, in the Nentir Vale setting, tieflings are descendants of a fallen empire whose entire ruling caste made a Deal with the Devil, and nobody is quite sure where genasi came from, with theories ranging from "experiment in mimicking humanoids by the primordials" to "an ur-race from the Elemental Chaos". That said, editions and settings often play around with the lore.
