Describe the process of reproduction in Hydra with the help of labelled diagrams. What is the name of this process of reproduction ?

Hydra reproduces by budding. In hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell divisions at one specific site. This bud then grows gradually to form a small hydra by developing a mouth and tentacles. The tiny new hydra detaches itself from the parent body and become new independent individual.
