Mitosis is the process where cells divide to produce new, identical cells in growth. Whilst childhood sees a rapid rate of mitosis the process continues throughout life as we are always regenerating cells. The easiest way to see cell growth is in the fingernails and hair. All those new cells were produced with mitosis.

Incidentally, a cancerous tumour is caused by cells performing mitosis out of control.
