Octopus hatch from eggs. The female octopus protects the eggs and makes sure they are clean and healthy as they grow. She will die right after the babies hatch, though, because she doesn't eat the entire time she's guarding her eggs.

How does a mother octopus have baby octopus?

Octopus lay eggs in caves then watch over the eggs until they hatch. The mother octopus has nothing to eat in this time, and so starves to death. Her body is her offspring's first meal, but in some cases the mothers body will be found by a larger animal, such as the giant sea star, which will then eat the carcase and the baby octopi.
