Detailed explanation-1: -Plasmodium reproduces by multiple fission and causes malaria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Malarial parasite or Plasmodium reproduces by multiple fission. Each Plasmodium cell divides its nucleus into many small nuclei followed by the division of the cell body to form many daughter cells with each cell obtaining one nucleus. This type of reproduction is called multiple fission.

Detailed explanation-3: -Malaria parasites are unusual, early-diverging protozoans with non-canonical cell cycles. They do not undergo binary fission, but divide primarily by schizogony. This involves the asynchronous production of multiple nuclei within the same cytoplasm, culminating in a single mass cytokinesis event.

This type of reproduction is called multiple fission.

Detailed explanation-5: -(II) Plasmodium is a microscopic and single-celled organism which reproduces by means of multiple fission. A large number of daughter cells (about 1000) are produced by the multiple fission of a single Plasmodium cell. Plasmodium is a malaria parasite which is responsible for disease like malaria in human beings.
