Detailed explanation-1: -What is exogenous budding? Exogenous budding is a type of asexual reproduction displayed by organisms such as hydra. A new organism develops as an outgrowth or bud on the surface of the mother cell during this process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Budding is the name given to a process in which a small new organism grows directly out from the parent’s body. One animal that reproduces this way is the Hydra (see figure below). Each clump of bacteria on this petri dish contains many cells, each identical to an original parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ed Reschke/Photolibrary/Getty Images. Hydras exhibit a form of asexual reproduction called budding. In this form of asexual reproduction, an offspring grows out of the body of the parent, then breaks off into a new individual. In most instances, the budding is restricted to certain specialized areas.

Detailed explanation-4: -In budding, a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent. Budding produces offspring genetically identical to its parent.
