what is fragmentation

 Fragmentation is a mode of asexual reproduction. It is the unintentional cutting up of the body of an organism in which each grows into different organism. It is most commonly seen in some algae.

u might have seen slimy green patches in ponds, or in other stagnant water bodies. These are algae. When water nutrients are available algae grow and multiply rapidlyby fragmentation. An algae breaks up into two or more fragments. These fragments or pieces grow individuals. This  process continues and they cover a large area in a short period of time.............. 

 

WELLLL !! A fragment is  a piece. and fragmentation is a process of organism multiplying rapidly and then covering large area in short period..... HOPE u understood :) :) :) :)
