polyp
Many polyps reproduce by budding, and may form colonies. Some reproduce sexually, fertilized eggs giving rise to new polyps, as in the case of Hydra and sea anemones. Others do not reproduce sexually, but produce medusae by budding and these reproduce sexually, their fertilized eggs giving rise to new polyps, as in the case of jellyfish.
