Which of the following animals does not undergo metamorphosis?

  1. Tunicate
  2. Starfish
  3. Earthworm
  4. Moth

Answer

(3) Earthworm

Solution

Metamorphosis occurs where development is indirect, i.e., through a larval stage.

Tunicates (tadpole larva), starfish (free-swimming bipinnaria larva) and moth (caterpillar larva → pupa → adult) show indirect development.

Earthworm ( Pheretima) has direct development: young worms hatch from cocoons with no larval stage ⇒ no metamorphosis.
