Polymorphism in Hydrozoa refers to the occurrence of different morphological forms within the same species, particularly evident in the colonial organisms of this class. Hydrozoans typically exhibit two main forms: the polyp, which is sessile and often reproduces asexually, and the medusa, which is free-swimming and primarily reproduces sexually. This dual life cycle allows for greater adaptability and survival in varying environments. The different forms often have specialized functions, contributing to the colony's overall efficiency and reproductive success.
