Essentially, the larval stage in a species' development cycle renders a specimen as a different type of lifeform than the adult stage does. Tadpoles resemble small fish such as minnows much more than adult frogs so they are labelled as larvae. Mammals look pretty much the same throughout life, so they are not said to have a larval stage. Larvae feed rapidly to fuel the metamorphosis into adulthood. See the related Wikipedia link for a much more detailed explanation.
A tadpole is a young frog that has yet to develop into an adult frog.
Egg -> tadpole -> frog (Note, most fail to develop properly.)
Egg -> tadpole -> frog (Note, most fail to develop properly.)
Before it becomes a frog, a frog starts its life cycle as an egg, then hatches into a tadpole. The tadpole will further develop into a froglet before eventually maturing into an adult frog.

Frogspawn, then tadpole, then frog
The scientific name for a tadpole is usually "Larva" followed by the species name of the frog it will develop into. For example, the scientific name for a tadpole of the common frog (Rana temporaria) would be "Larva Rana temporaria."
After a tadpole hatches, it will typically feed on algae and plant matter. As it grows, it will start to develop limbs and its tail will reduce in size. Eventually, it will undergo metamorphosis and transform into a frog or toad.
Egg is to tadpole as tadpole is to frog.
no a tadpole is a baby frog .
I have a Leopard frog tadpole, If you want to let your tadpole to grow faster, feed it frog and tadpole bites.I give my tadpole and it grew tiny legs .you can bye these at petco or petsmart
a tadpole is the second stage before it grows into a frog.
