Answer:
The term “metamorphosis” is most often used in reference to the process of a caterpillar changing into a butterfly. However, the word “metamorphosis” is a broad term that indicates a change from one thing to another. Even rocks, a seemingly constant substance, can change into a new type of rock. Rocks that undergo a change to form a new rock are referred to as metamorphic rocks.
