Why does the daughter of Pharaoh save the baby?

Exodus 2:5–6 (ESV)

5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it.

She sees the baby and feels sorry for him. Then she realizes he is an Israelite child.

She violates the commandment of her father, which is risky for her.
