Best Answer

Metamorphosis is the name of the process by which the caterpillar turns into a butterfly. It originates in the combination of the Greek words μετα- (meta-, "change") and μορφή (morphe, "form") because the ground-bound larval phase of the juvenile lepidopteran transforms into the air-born stage of the adult.
