Question

The term metamorphosis is not used while describing human development. Why?

Answer 1

The human development does not undergo metamorphosis because the human does not have different stages with different forms like butterfly ( pupa, cocoon). The growth of human is stable.

Answer 2

Metamorphosis is a term used to explain development in certain organisms that grow out to become entirely different from their initial stage, for ex- the larvae of a mosquito looks entirely different from a grown mosquito.

In humans the young ones look like the adults, therefore the term metamorphosis would be wrong to explain development in humans. Metamorphosis means almost complete change in appearance of an organism from childhood to adulthood. However in humans the appearance doesn't changes.
