Regeneration isn't really a form of reproduction. There are some animals organisms that are able to regenerate lost body parts. For example many lizards are able to regenerate lost tails. However, please read later notes on Fragmentation.

There are two basic types of reproduction. Sexual and Asexual.

Most multicellular organisms reproduce with Sexual reproduction. I.E. requiring both male and female components to reproduce in which half of the genes are contributed by the male and half contributed by the female. Even flowers use pollination for sexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction is generally done by smaller unicellular organisms, for example bacteria and yeasts. There are methods for bacteria to share genes using plasmids, and transformation.

A subset of asexual reproduction is Fragmentation. This is where a chunk of cells can be broken off and reproduce the whole (or a similar) organism. For example with many plants you can cut starts off, plant them, and essentially the original plant will grow back. Starfish, as well as many molds and fungi can also reproduce using fragmentation.
