Can the process of a child changing into an adult be called metamorphosis?

Solution

No. The process of metamorphosis involves relatively abrupt changes in the animal's body. Since, in human beings, body parts similar to the adult are present from the time of the birth, there are no drastic changes. Hence, the process of a child changing into an adult cannot be called metamorphosis.
