Self-fertilization is called so because it occurs when an organism fertilizes its own gametes, leading to the production of offspring without the need for a partner. This process is common in many plants and some animals, allowing for reproduction even in isolated conditions. The term emphasizes the organism's ability to use its own reproductive cells to achieve fertilization and propagate its genes.
