Metamorphosis

to produce and give off a substance
a poison produced by an organism
a juvenile form of an animal
a worm-like amphibian that burrows in the soil
a change in physical form and structure due to maturity

a process in which an organism undergoes a complete or partial change in form and structure, such as a caterpillar turning into a butterfly or a tadpole turning into a frog. This transformation is often accompanied by a change in behavior, diet, and habitat. Metamorphosis can be triggered by various cues, including environmental factors, hormonal signals, and genetic programming. It is a crucial stage in the life cycle of many organisms, allowing them to adapt to new challenges and opportunities in their environment.
