DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Another special feature of most amphibians is their egg-larva-adult life cycle. The larvae are aquatic and free-swimming-frogs and toads at this stage are called tadpoles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most frogs and other amphibians hatch as fish-like larvae called tadpoles, or “pollywogs.” Tadpoles exist to eat and grow. They eventually transform into froglets, a process called metamorphosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amphibians are a class of cold-blooded vertebrates made up of frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians (wormlike animals with poorly developed eyes).

Detailed explanation-4: -Some tadpole larval stages of amphibians are carnivores, examples of them are Salamanders and caecilians.
