Is Reproduction necessary for the survival of an individual

 After all, reproduction is not necessary to maintain the of the individual organisms, unlike the essential life of an individual respiration, or excretion. on the other hand, if individual organism is going to create more individuals ,a lot of its energy will be spent in the process. 

Organisms have an inherent capability of protecting their species through reproduction. Reproduction is not essential for one’s survival but it is the only way to keep species alive. The nature and environment is built in such a way that it is very important for every single living organism to reproduce as it keeps a natural balance in the environment. If an organism does not reproduce then it will bear no offspring and will extinct over a period of time.

Living organisms have different ways of reproduction such as the higher animals like humans and animals reproduce by mating, which is also called as sexual reproduction and on the other hand microorganisms reproduce by asexual methods like fission, budding etc. Plants cannot reproduce on their own so they take the help insects and butterflies to carry pollen from one plant to another.

Undoubtedly, reproduction is a vital process to maintain a balance in the biodiversity.
