Overall

, the cycle consists of ten stages, beginning with egg-laying and ending in adulthood. In the initial stages, adult frogs lay eggs, which develop into embryos. These embryos

mature into tadpoles, which have a sperm-like appearance and remain attached to water plants. As they grow, they develop essential organs

as gills for breathing, tails for movement, and hind legs.

the hind legs. In the next phases, the tadpoles develop front legs

while

their tails gradually shorten. Eventually, the tails disappear entirely, and at

stage, they are known as young frogs. As they continue to mature, they become fully grown adults capable of reproduction. The cycle

restarts as the adult frogs lay eggs, continuing the process of growth and development.
