Agamogenesis :: Agamogenesis (n.) Reproduction without the union of parents of distinct sexes: asexual reproduction.

Filicoid :: Filicoid (a.) Fernlike, either in form or in the nature of the method of reproduction..

Metamorphosis :: Metamorphosis (n.) A change in the form or function of a living organism, by a natural process of growth or development; as, the metamorphosis of the yolk into the embryo, of a tadpole into a frog, or of a bud into a blossom. Especially, that form of sexual reproduction in which an embryo undergoes a series of marked changes of external form, as the chrysalis stage, pupa stage, etc., in insects. In these intermediate stages sexual reproduction is usually impossible, but they ultimately pass into
