Tadpoles are the initial stage of transition in the life cycle of frogs.
Tadpoles are a lot similar to fishes in the initial stage of life and one of the main reasons is that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.
This means that the evolution of embryological development might lead to such cases.
Here, the Amphibians have evolved from Pisces, and they still have traits of their previous classification.
This is why tadpoles resemble to a fish.
