∙ 12y agoGrowth usually refers to a noticeable increase in the size of the organism or a specific part of the organism. It is usually macroscopically apparent, i.e. you can observe it with a naked eye.
Development is a broader term then growth. Growth is a type of development. Some developments do not correlate with overall increase in size of the organism or its parts. For example, during early human development (right after birth), the neurons in the brain start to make critical connections, which give later adult functions, such as vision. This is considered as a DEVELOPEMENT, but it is usually not regarded as growth, because 1) you can observe it without advanced instrument 2) it doesn't cause increase of size of anything.
