Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. Yeast, a type of fungus, commonly reproduces asexually by budding. A small bud emerges from the parent cell, grows, and eventually separates to form a new individual.

Other examples of organisms that reproduce by budding include Hydra (an animal) and sponges. E. coli and Amoeba reproduce by binary fission, where the parent cell divides into two equal daughter cells. Plasmodium, the parasite causing malaria, reproduces asexually by multiple fission (schizogony) within host cells.

Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes and results in offspring that are genetically identical to the single parent. Besides budding and binary fission, other modes of asexual reproduction include fragmentation, regeneration, spore formation, and vegetative propagation in plants.
