When an organism of many cells breaks up into two or more parts and these parts survive to produce a new organism, reproduction occurs by Fragmentation. Fragmentation is the breaking of the body into two parts with subsequent regeneration. If the animal is capable of fragmentation, and the part is big enough, a separate individual will regrow. For example, in many hydra, planaria asexual reproduction is accomplished by fragmentation.
