Citizenship passed down via family: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_sanguinis
Citizenship based on where you're born: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli
Jus Solid is more expansive than you think. It's most of the western hemisphere and in many European countries it is allowed if the parent(s) are in the country legally or are permanent residents.

You're taking about nationality by _jus soli_ (by soil) vs _jus sangunis_ (by blood): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli
Most of the New World is jus soli, while some European countries now accept jus soli under certain circumstances.
Some countries, though, require you to have only one citizenship, which implies you will have to get rid of whatever citizenship you have. But that was not the point of your incorrect statement.
Once thing that is common in Europe is citizenship by family, and I am not aware of a country (in Europe) that allows citizenship by being born in that place. In fact, I am just aware of United States and Brazil with the latter rule, but I never investigated it further.
