  8. Metamorphosis is the process where animals grow additional legs, whereas molting is for growing wings. Reptiles also undergo metamorphosis.
  9. Metamorphosis involves a change from the juvenile to the adult form, unlike molting which is shedding of the exoskeleton to allow growth. Amphibians like frogs and aquatic animals like sea stars also undergo metamorphosis
  10. Metamorphosis is the process of internal organ development, and molting is the growth of new appendages. Certain species of annelids undergo metamorphosis.
