Definition: Metamorphosis refers to a significant transformation or change, often resulting in the transformation of an organism from its original form or state to something new and different. The process by which an organism undergoes this transformation can vary greatly depending on the circumstances and environment it inhabits. Some organisms may undergo a rapid transformation that changes their entire being at once, while others may experience gradual changes over time, often leading to the development of a unique form or personality. Metamorphosis is often thought of as occurring in the context of change from one life stage or state to another, but it can also be applied to any significant change or transformation that occurs within an organism.
