Why do I not have access to my iCloud backup? It says I cannot access it because I am under my father’s family plan. I’m not sure which specifically but I’m sure there’s a way I can access it. If there’s something I can do or my dad needs to do it would help out a lot. Many thanks!

Your iPhone backups on your iCloud account are not related to your status in a Family Sharing group, other than your use of the shared iCloud space which a Family Sharing group provides. What is "it" which says that you can't access your iPhone backups?
In what sense do you ask about accessing these backups? They cannot be found as files to edit, but you can see the status of your backups, manage them, and see which of your iOS devices are backing up.
To see this follow the steps in Apple's support document View and manage iCloud device backups:
View and manage iCloud backups on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
Do one of the following:
You see the devices with iCloud Backup turned on.
To delete a backup, tap the name of a device, then tap Turn Off and Delete from iCloud (or Delete & Turn Off Backup).
Can I access my iCloud Backup when in Family Sharing?
