Answer» \t\tFragmentationRegenerationDuring the process of fragmentation, an organism splits into fragments and each of these fragments develops into individual organisms.\xa0During the process of regeneration, an organism regrows a particular body part in case there has been certain damage to it.Each fragment forms into a new organism.\xa0There are no new organisms formed during this process.\xa0The process of fragmentation is only seen in organisms that have the same simple body organisation and are multi-cellular.\xa0The process of regeneration is seen in multi-cellular organisms that have complex body organisation.\xa0Fragmentation is only limited to certain organisms.\xa0Regeneration, however, is seen in all organisms either up to a certain extent or completely.\xa0This process does not involve the use of specialised cells.\xa0This process involves the use of specialised cells in proliferating and forming a cell cluster, which then proceeds to form various other kinds of cells and tissues.\xa0Fragmentation is only seen in invertebrates.Regeneration is seen both in vertebrates and invertebrates.\xa0Fragmentation is a process of reproduction (asexual).Regeneration is a process of reproduction as well as regeneration of lost body parts, tissues or cells.\xa0This process is generally seen in plants, especially non-vascular ones.\xa0This process is generally seen in animals as compared to plants.\xa0Fragmentation is highly dependent on the structural complexity of an organism and can occur as a natural process or may result from the action of a predator.Regeneration is seen across all living organisms and is mostly the result of an action or damage to the concerned body part.\xa0Organisms like sea anemones, sponges and flatworms undergo the process of fragmentation.\xa0The tail of a lizard, limbs of an octopus or regrowth of blood vessels in humans are some instances of regeneration.\xa0\t
