Step-by-Step Solution
Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction found in multi-cellular organisms with simple body designs, such as Spirogyra. In this process, upon reaching maturity, the parent body breaks down naturally into smaller pieces or fragments. Each individual fragment then grows into a fully new mature organism through continuous cell division and differentiation, ensuring the continuation of the species.
