Why did Moses’ mother put the basket with the baby on the Nile?

Exodus 2:4 (ESV)

4 And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.

Pharaoh has ordered to cast newborn boys in the Nile, but Moses’ mother places him in a basket on the Nile. She gives her own interpretation to Pharaoh’s order, not to kill the child but to save his live.
