Solution

Hydra is a freshwater organism. It reproduces by the method of asexual reproduction. In this process, a small outgrowth called bud is formed on the side of its body by the repeated division of its cells. This bulge elongates and develops a circlet of tentacles at its free end in the midst of which a mouth is perforated. It finally detaches itself from the body of parent. This type of reproduction is known as budding.
