Detailed explanation-1: -Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size. Fragmentation occurs when a parent organism breaks into fragments, or pieces, and each fragment develops into a new organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning, where an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develops into mature, fully grown individuals that are clones of the original organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fragmentation. In fragmentation, a body breaks into several fragments, which later develop into complete organisms. For example, a new starfish can develop from a single ray or arm. In addition to starfish, this type of reproduction is common among some worms, fungi, and plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction in which an organism simply breaks into individual pieces at maturity. 2. These individual small pieces then grow to form a new organism e.g., Spirogyra.
