Because lots of them don't survive so they lay lots of eggs in the hope that some survive.

FROGS
Frogs lay a large number of eggs at a time, typically ranging from a few hundred to several thousand. The exact number varies depending on the species of frog. It is not accurate to say that frogs are born, as they hatch from eggs as tadpoles and undergo metamorphosis into adult frogs.
No, frogs only lay clear eggs with a brown or black nucleus. Normally in some sort of water. Frogs lay them in large clumps and toads lay them in a string.
I have some gray and green tree frogs, they get on each others backs and make alot of noise, they live in a large tank, with a made stream in it with water about 8 inches deep will they lay eggs the water comes from an osmosis. or should I get water from the pond
The adult frogs always lay large numbers of eggs to improve the chances of their offspring's survival to adulthood. Many of the eggs or tadpoles die for various reasons and never reach adulthood.
because they need to be large to carry all those eggs!
To make more babies
Yes a Frog will lay hundreds of eggs, know as Frog spawn, from each egg a tadpole (baby frog) should hatch.
Frog eggs. Frogs lay eggs, and the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Then the tadpoles turn into frogs.
Frogs lay a lot of eggs because a lot of animals eat tadpoles and small frogs including other frogs.
The egg cells of fish have a better chance of being fertilized compared to the egg cells of frogs. This is because fish release a large number of eggs into the water, increasing the likelihood of encountering sperm for fertilization, while frogs typically lay fewer eggs and do not release them directly into the water.
Most frogs extensively care for their eggs and young.
