- Metamorphosis is a biological process in which an animal physically evolves following birth or hatching, involving a visible and generally sudden change in the animal's body structure due to cell proliferation and differentiation.
- Metamorphosis is a process that occurs in insects, fish, amphibians, mollusks, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms, and tunicates.
- It is typically followed by a change in diet or behaviour.
- Complete metamorphosis , partial metamorphosis (hemimetaboly), and no metamorphosis (no metamorphosis) are the three types of metamorphosis that animals can go through .
- It is not applicable to general features of cell development, such as fast growth spurts, in scientific usage of the word.
- Although references to "metamorphosis" in mammals are ambiguous and only used informally, historical idealist conceptions of transformation and morphology, such as those found in Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants, have affected the development of evolutionary theories.
