The purpose of the metamorphosis is to transform a species into a completely new form, often a new species, in a relatively short period of time. This transformation is driven by a combination of factors, including:
- Genetic variation: The process involves the evolution of new genetic material, which can be passed down from parents to offspring.
- Evolutionary change: The process allows for the adaptation and development of new traits and characteristics.
- Environmental changes: The transformation can occur in response to changes in the environment, such as a change in the food source, a new predator, or a new environment.
