Detailed explanation-1: -Tadpoles hatch from tiny eggs that are laid in masses in the water. The gill-breathing tadpole swims in the water. It eventually sprouts legs and absorbs its tail, becoming a froglet and then an adult. The adult breathes air and has no tail.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basic Facts. Frogs have multiple stages in thier life cycle: egg, tadpole, tadpole with legs, froglet, frog.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 2: Teeny tadpoles! After spending 1-3 weeks eating the yolk of their egg, the baby frog hatches into the big, wide world. Now, the baby frogs are known as tadpoles. They have gills, a mouth, and a long tail, which they need for swimming!

Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of the tadpole stage, a frog undergoes a process called metamorphosis in which its body makes a sudden transition into the adult form and they turn into froglets. The tadpole loses its gills for breathing in water and gains lungs for breathing in air.

Detailed explanation-5: -During the early stages, frogs and other amphibians have gills for breathing, just like fish. Then, they develop lungs so they breathe on land like we do. A full-grown adult frog.
