What about hermaphroditic animals is false?

A common misconception about hermaphroditic animals is that they can self-fertilize their eggs and always do so. In reality, while many hermaphrodites possess both male and female reproductive organs, they often engage in cross-fertilization with other individuals to increase genetic diversity. Additionally, not all hermaphrodites can self-fertilize; some species have mechanisms to prevent it. Thus, the reproductive strategies of hermaphroditic animals are more complex than simply being able to self-reproduce.
