Detailed explanation-1: -Eggs of a frog develop into a larva (tadpole) and later become an adult frog. These drastic changes in appearance and stages are not as long as human growth. The changes in the stages from a larva to an adult are known as metamorphism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metamorphosis of the tadpole larva into an adult frog is one of the most striking transformations in all of biology (Figure 2.4). In amphibians, metamorphosis is initiated by hormones from the tadpole’s thyroid gland, and these changes prepare an aquatic organism for a terrestrial existence.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like beautiful butterflies, frogs and toads undergo an astonishing transformation – which is called ‘metamorphosis’ – as they grow up. From jelly-like eggs laid in water, they grow into wriggling tadpoles, and finally grow legs suitable for land!

Detailed explanation-4: -The process in which a tadpole turns into a frog is called metamorphosis, and it is an amazing transformation. Here we have broken metamorphosis down so you can see the stages a tadpole goes through as it develops into an adult.
