What triggers the development of buds in Hydra, and how do these buds evolve into independent individuals?

The development of buds in Hydra is triggered by environmental factors such as favorable conditions and nutrient availability. Hydra is capable of asexual reproduction through budding. The process begins with the outgrowth of a small bud on the body wall of the parent Hydra. This bud contains a mass of undifferentiated cells that undergo rapid cell division. As the bud enlarges, it starts to differentiate into specialized cell types, forming structures like tentacles and a mouth. Eventually, the bud detaches from the parent Hydra, becoming an independent organism. This remarkable ability allows Hydra to reproduce rapidly and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
