Answer:
Fragmentation occurs when an organism literally breaks off from itself. The broken fragments of the organism grow into individual separate organisms. On the other hand, regeneration is a form of asexual reproduction where the organism is capable of regrowing certain parts of its body when it loses them.

Organisms that are fragmented result in each fragment growing into an individual organism Regeneration occurs when an organism only regrows a lost limb or any other part of the body.
A new individual emerges from each fragment No new organisms are formed
Only a few organisms can fragment and form new individuals All organisms exhibit the ability to regenerate (Only to some degree)
Fragmentation is observed in organisms such as flatworms and sponges Examples of regeneration include regrowing a lost limb, such as the tail of a lizard. (Please note: Most lizards can lose their tails and then have them grow back. But if they lose their forelimb or hindlimb, it will not regrow)
