Where does metamorphosis take place?

Metamorphosis primarily refers to the biological process where certain animals, such as insects and amphibians, undergo significant physical changes in form and structure as they develop from one life stage to another. For example, in butterflies, metamorphosis occurs in stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. This transformation takes place in various environments depending on the species, such as in soil, water, or within protective structures like cocoons. In the broader context, the term can also refer to significant changes in other areas, such as literature or art.
